[Freeswitch-users] Does FS ESL provide session command?

[jesse]

According to http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Event_Socket, ESL only supports:
 api, bapi, event, myevents, divert_events, filter,sendevent, sendmsg,
hangup, auth, exit,log, nolog, noevents, nixevent.

How come I don't see a way to create a session via ESL. like in lua,
freeswitch.Session(dialstring);
one way to accomplish this in ESL is : api originate dialstring
&hold(), is this = Session(dialstring) ?

thanks
