    Hi guys<br>
    <br>
    After 2 days I understand some issues with ESL and the NodeJS ESL
    wrapper (modesl).<br>
    <br>
    Learning to use event socket I read that has commands like: api -
    bgapi - linger, nolinger etc. <br>
    Then, when reading the ESL wrapper for NodeJS I can&#39;t found those
    sockets commands. Only found api and bgapi, but not linger,
    nolinger, etc. So, the wrapper has the same methods as ESL has. But
    why I can&#39;t found those linger and nolinger methods? Here is the
    answer from the ESL wiki:<br>
    <br>
    <b>api($command, $args) is identical to sendRecv(&quot;api $command
      $args&quot;)</b><br>
    <br>
    and<br>
    <br>
    <b>bgapi($command, $args) is identical to sendRecv(&quot;bgapi $command
      $args&quot;)</b><br>
    <br>
    So... I can figured that &quot;linger&quot; or other commands should send into
    the &quot;send&quot; or &quot;sendRecv&quot; methods. This cause me a confussion.<br>
    <br>
    So, all ESL commands must be send through &quot;send&quot; or &quot;sendRecv&quot;
    methods, and &quot;api&quot; or &quot;bgapi&quot; are shorthands of &quot;send&quot; method for
    api/bgapi.<br>
    <br>
    I think these methods (api-bgapi) should be remove from ESL, to
    avoid future confussion.<br>
    <br>
