Examples

```rust use birdc::*;

// create the client let client = Client::forunixsocket("/run/bird/bird.ctl");

// we can either use raw protocol async fn showinterfacesraw(client: &Client) -> Result<()> { let mut connection = client.connect().await?;

// we can either use raw protocol
let messages = connection.send_request("show interfaces").await?;
for message in &messages {
    println!("received message: {:?}", message);
}
Ok(())

}

// or we can use structured exchange async fn show_interfaces(client: &Client) -> Result<()> { let mut connection = client.connect().await?;

// let's make a semantic call now
match connection.show_interfaces().await {
    Ok(entries) => {
        for e in &entries {
            println!("received entry: {:?}", e);
        }
    }
    Err(Error::ParseError(messages)) => {
        // we can still go through the raw response
        // even though semantic parsing failed
        for msg in &messages {
            println!("raw message: {:?}", msg);
        }
    }
    Err(e) => {
        return Err(e);
    }
}
Ok(())

} ```
