rotation osSlerp(rotation a, rotation b, float ratio);
Slerp is shorthand for spherical linear interpolation, introduced by Ken Shoemake in the context of quaternion interpolation for the purpose of animating 3D rotation.

It refers to constant-speed motion along a unit-radius great circle arc, given the ends and an interpolation parameter between 0 and 1.

osSlerp Returns a rotation that is the spherical interpolation of a and b, according to ratio that can be from 0.0 (result is a) to 1.0 (result is b)

rotation rot_a;
rotation rot_b;
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Touch to see osSlerp usage.");
    }
 
    touch_start(integer number)
    {
        float ratio;
        rot_a = rot_b;
        rot_b = llEuler2Rot(<llFrand(PI), llFrand(PI), llFrand(PI)>);
        integer counter = 10;
 
        do {
            ratio += 0.1;
            llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_ROTATION, osSlerp(rot_a, rot_b, ratio)]);
            llSleep(0.1);
        }
        while(--counter);
    }
}

With a couple of scripts:

key target = "1209ffb3-3d27-4f77-bf09-d1da8bd36093";
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Touch the blue primitive to see osSlerp usage.");
        llSetColor(<0.0, 0.5, 1.0>, ALL_SIDES);
    }
 
    touch_start(integer number)
    {
        rotation rot = llEuler2Rot(<llFrand(PI), llFrand(PI), llFrand(PI)>);
        llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_ROTATION, rot]);
        osMessageObject(target, (string)rot);
    }
}

rotation rot_a;
rotation rot_b;
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Touch the blue primitive to see osSlerp usage.");
        llSetColor(<1.0, 0.0, 1.0>, ALL_SIDES);
    }
 
    dataserver(key uuid, string data)
    {
        float ratio;
        rot_a = rot_b;
        rot_b = (rotation)data;
        integer counter = 10;
 
        do {
            ratio += 0.1;
            llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_ROTATION, osSlerp(rot_a, rot_b, ratio)]);
            llSleep(0.1);
        }
        while(--counter);
    }
}

A more complex example:

//
// osSlerp Script Example
// Author: Kayaker Mangic Sept 2019
//
 
// This isn't the right way to wiggle a stick (llSetKeyframedMotion is better) but it does demostrate osSlerp working!
// Put this script in a prim that is long in the X direction, it will wave it's tip around in a figure 8 (infinity) pattern.
 
rotation lastrot;   // slerp between these two rotations
rotation nextrot;   // slerp between these two rotations
float t = 0.0;      // parameter for calculating angles to slerp between
float ratio = 1.0;  // does 10 slerp steps of 0.1 between last and next
integer switch;
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Touch to see osSlerp usage.");
    }
 
    touch_start(integer number)
    {
        if (switch = !switch)
        {
            llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
        }
 
        else
        {
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
        }
    }
 
    timer()
    {
        integer counter = 10;
 
        while(--counter)
        {
            ratio += 0.1;
 
            if (ratio > 1.0)
            {
                ratio = 0.1;                                    // start over
                lastrot = nextrot;                              // save the last rotation
                t += PI / 10.0;                                 // bump t to generate points on a Lissajous curve
                float y = llSin(t);                             // this will generate points around an
                float z = llSin(2.0 * t);                       // infinity sympol
                vector fwd = llVecNorm(<2.0, y, z>);            // tip of this vector carves out the shape
                vector lft = llVecNorm(<0.0, 0.0, 1.0> % fwd);  // convert that into a rotation
                nextrot = llAxes2Rot(fwd, lft, fwd % lft);      // this will be the next rotation to slerp to
            }
 
            rotation rot = osSlerp(lastrot, nextrot, ratio);
            llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_ROTATION, rot]);
            llSleep(0.09);
        }
    }
