+.Sh EXAMPLES
+This is an example of a WebSocket Request. It can be sent through the command
+line with -s or put into a file and read with -f. The order the parameters are
+listed does not matter: 
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal
+{
+   "id" : "fooid",
+   "namespace" : "sysadm",
+   "name" : "moused",
+   "args" : {
+      "action" : "list_devices"
+   }
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If multiple requests are desired, then they must be placed in an array:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal
+[ {
+  "args" : {
+     "action" : "listcron"
+  },
+  "name" : "lifepreserver",
+  "namespace" : "sysadm",
+  "id" : "fooid"
+},
+{
+  "id" : "fooid",
+  "args" : {
+     "action" : "memorystats"
+  },
+  "namespace" : "sysadm",
+  "name" : "systemmanager"
+} ]
+.Ed
+.Pp
+If the above array was sent, then the following response would return:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal
+{
+    "args": {
+        "listcron": {
+        }
+    },
+    "id": "fooid",
+    "name": "response",
+    "namespace": "sysadm"
+}
+
+{
+    "args": {
+        "memorystats": {

+    },
+    "id": "fooid",
