# example-api

Example API, v1.0.0.

This is an example API, written by Paul Frazee.
It's not a real API, but it would work with muxrpc.

## ping: async

Pings a target machine.

```bash
ping {target string} [-n number]
``` --

```js
ping(target, { n: })
``` --

 - target: string, an IPv4/IPv6 address
 - opts:
   - n: optional number, how many times to ping

Sends ICMP ping messages to the given target.
Will wait 1 second between pings.

## listen: source

Listens for pings.

```bash
listen
``` --

```js
listen()
``` --

Will emit a string describing incoming pings, as they occur.

The api:

var mdm = require('mdmanifest')

mdm.muxrpcManifest(exampleMd)
/* => {
  ping: 'async',
  listen: 'source'
}*/

mdm.usage(exampleMd) 
/* =>
