This API is documented in=20

   mod_pubsub/kn_docs/javascript_reference.html

and in the source code for the JavaScript pubsub client library

   mod_pubsub/kn_apps/kn_lib/pubsub_raw.js

and actually, the Python pubsub client library mimics exactly
the same API, too.  See its source code

   mod_pubsub/python_pubsub/pubsublib.py

and/or when I check in Greg's Ruby pubsub client library you
can peruse that source's APIs as well.  Whatever you like.

FWIW, I believe the Perl pubsub client library is similar flavor

   mod_pubsub/cgi-bin/PubSub/Client.pm

and the C++/Windows pubsub client library is similar, too

   mod_pubsub/cxx_pubsub/LibKN/cpp/Connector.cpp

and what can I say, the C pubsub client library likes to do its own
thing, but man oh man are its APIs readable :)

   mod_pubsub/c_pubsub/libkn/...

Actually, Greg's Ruby pubsub client library is *very* readable.
Even if you don't know Ruby, it's a good one to look at to learn
the mod_pubsub way.

So I'll put Greg's Ruby pubsub library next on the "to add" list,
as someone around here was asking about Ruby (I kid you not!).
Hopefully I'll get to this, this week.  Kudos to you, Greg!
