First i have inform you that that line return 1 if dial can't be done(but yes, that is rare situation).

For result please check dial command page:

It return DIALSTATUS dialplan variable.

For those who use Asterisk java

String status = channel.getVariable("DIALSTATUS");

status will give you status of dial, such as BUSY, NOANSWER described https://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variable+DIALSTATUS
