I don't fully understand the confusion here. api/bgapi are just there to simplify how to send commands (since they are the mosy commonly used I guess).

I'm pretty sure it would cause huge problems for everyone using ESL today, if we'd just remove those functions.

Hi guys

After 2 days I understand some issues with ESL and the NodeJS ESL wrapper (modesl).

Learning to use event socket I read that has commands like: api - bgapi - linger, nolinger etc.
Then, when reading the ESL wrapper for NodeJS I can'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't found those linger and nolinger methods? Here is the answer from the ESL wiki:

api($command, $args) is identical to sendRecv("api $command $args")

and

bgapi($command, $args) is identical to sendRecv("bgapi $command $args")

So... I can figured that "linger" or other commands should send into the "send" or "sendRecv" methods. This cause me a confussion.

So, all ESL commands must be send through "send" or "sendRecv" methods, and "api" or "bgapi" are shorthands of "send" method for api/bgapi.

I think these methods (api-bgapi) should be remove from ESL, to avoid future confussion.

Regards
Normando
