/*!
 * \page AstSorcery Data Access Layer API
 *
 * Sorcery is a unifying data access layer which utilizes the configuration framework,
 * realtime, and astdb to allow object creation, retrieval, updating, and deletion.
 *
 * \par Initialization
 *
 * Usage of sorcery is accomplished by first opening a sorcery structure. This structure holds
 * all information about the object types, object fields, and object mappings. All API functions
 * require the sorcery structure to operate. When sorcery is no longer needed the structure can
 * be unreferenced using \ref ast_sorcery_unref
 *
 * Once opened the sorcery structure must have object mappings applied to it. This maps the
 * object types to their respective wizards (object storage modules). If the developer would like
 * to allow the user to configure this using the sorcery.conf configuration file the
 * \ref ast_sorcery_apply_config API call can be used to read in the configuration file and apply the
 * mappings. \ref ast_sorcery_open will automatically call \ref ast_sorcery_apply_config to allow
 * for configuration of objects using the same category name as the module that is opening the
 * sorcery instance. Direct calls to \ref ast_sorcery_apply_config should only be performed if a
 * module wishes to allow for additional configuration sections in sorcery.conf to be used.
 * If the storage of the object types are such that a default wizard can be used this can
 * be applied using the \ref ast_sorcery_apply_default API call. Note that the default mappings will not
 * override configured mappings. They are only used in the case where no configured mapping exists.
 *
 * Configuring object mappings implicitly creates a basic version of an object type. The object type
 * must be fully registered, however, using the \ref ast_sorcery_object_register API call before any
 * objects of the type can be allocated, created, or retrieved.
 *
 * Once the object type itself has been fully registered the individual fields within the object must
 * be registered using the \ref ast_sorcery_object_field_register API call. Note that not all fields *need*
 * be registered. Only fields that should be accessible using the sorcery API have to be registered.
 *
 * \par Creating Objects
 *
 * Before an object can be created within the sorcery API it must first be allocated using the
 * \ref ast_sorcery_alloc API call. This allocates a new instance of the object, sets sorcery specific
 * details, and applies default values to the object. A unique identifier can optionally be specified
 * when allocating an object. If it is not provided one will be automatically generated. Allocating
 * an object does not create it within any object storage mechanisms that are configured for the
 * object type. Creation must explicitly be done using the \ref ast_sorcery_create API call. This API call
 * passes the object to each configured object storage mechanism for the object type until one
 * successfully persists the object.
 *
 * \par Retrieving Objects
 *
 * To retrieve a single object using its unique identifier the \ref ast_sorcery_retrieve_by_id API call
 * can be used.
 *
 * To retrieve potentially multiple objects using specific fields the \ref ast_sorcery_retrieve_by_fields
 * API call can be used. The behavior of this API call is controlled using different flags. If the
 * AST_RETRIEVE_FLAG_MULTIPLE flag is used a container will be returned which contains all matching objects.
 * To retrieve all objects the AST_RETRIEVE_FLAG_ALL flag can be specified. Note that when specifying this flag
 * you do not need to pass any fields.
 *
 * Both API calls return shared objects. Modification of the object can not occur until it has been copied.
 *
 * \par Updating Objects
 *
 * As retrieved objects may be shared the first step to updating the object with new details is creating a
 * copy using the \ref ast_sorcery_copy API call. This will return a new object which is specific to the caller.
 * Any field within the object may be modified as needed. Once changes are done the changes can be committed
 * using the \ref ast_sorcery_update API call. Note that as the copied object is specific to the caller it must
 * be unreferenced after use.
 *
 * \par Deleting Objects
 *
 * To delete an object simply call the \ref ast_sorcery_delete API call with an object retrieved using the
 * ast_sorcery_retrieve_by_* API calls or a copy returned from \ref ast_sorcery_copy.

 *
 * \note If the AST_RETRIEVE_FLAG_MULTIPLE flag is specified the returned value will be an
 *       ao2_container that must be unreferenced after use.
 *
 * \note If the AST_RETRIEVE_FLAG_ALL flag is used you may omit fields to retrieve all objects
 *       of the given type.
 *
 * \note The fields parameter can contain realtime-style expressions in variable->name.
 *       All operators defined for ast_strings_match can be used except for regex as
 *       there's no common support for regex in the realtime backends at this time.
 *       If multiple variables are in the fields list, all must match for an object to
 *       be returned.  See ast_strings_match for more information.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * The following code can be significantly faster when a realtime backend is in use
 * because the expression "qualify_frequency > 0" is passed to the database to limit
 * the number of rows returned.
 *
 *  struct ast_variable *var = ast_variable_new("qualify_frequency >", "0", "");
 *  struct ao2_container *aors;
 *
 *  if (!var) {
 *      return;
 *  }
 *
 *  aors = ast_sorcery_retrieve_by_fields(ast_sip_get_sorcery(),
 *      "aor", AST_RETRIEVE_FLAG_MULTIPLE, var);
