=head2 timeout

  my $timeout = $api->timeout;
  $api        = $api->timeout(15);

Timeout in seconds for sending request and receiving response before command
will be canceled. Default is C<10> seconds.

=head2 tls

  my $tls = $api->tls;
  $api    = $api->tls(1);

Use TLS for connection. Enabled by default.

=head2 user

  my $user = $api->user;
  $api     = $api->user('admin');

User name for authentication purposes. Defaults to C<admin>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 cancel

  # subscribe to a command output
  my $tag = $api->subscribe('/ping', {address => '127.0.0.1'} => sub {...});

  # cancel command after 10 seconds
  Mojo::IOLoop->timer(10 => sub { $api->cancel($tag) });

  # or with callback
  $api->cancel($tag => sub {...});

Cancels background commands. Can accept a callback as last argument.

=head2 cmd

  my $list = $api->cmd('/interface/print');

An alias for L</command>.

=head2 cmd_p

  my $promise = $api->cmd_p('/interface/print');

An alias for L</command_p>.

=head2 command

  my $command = '/interface/print';
  my $attr    = {'.proplist' => '.id,name,type'};
  my $query   = {type => ['ipip-tunnel', 'gre-tunnel'], running => 'true'};

  my $list = $api->command($command, $attr, $query);
  die $api->error if $api->error;
  for (@$list) {...}

  $api->command('/user/set', {'.id' => 'admin', comment => 'System admin'});

  # Non-blocking
  $api->command('/ip/address/print' => sub {
      my ($api, $err, $list) = @_;

      return if $err;

      for (@$list) {...}
  });

  # Omit attributes
  $api->command('/user/print', undef, {name => 'admin'} => sub {...});

  # Errors handling
  $list = $api->command('/random/command');
  if (my $err = $api->error) {
      die "Error: $err, category: " . $list->[0]{category};
  }

Executes a command on a remote host and returns L<Mojo::Collection> with hashrefs
containing elements returned by a host. You can append a callback for non-blocking
calls.

In a case of error it may return extra attributes to C<!trap> or C<!fatal> API
replies in addition to error messages in an L</error> attribute or an C<$err>
argument. You should never rely on defines of the result to catch errors.

For a query syntax refer to L<API::MikroTik::Query>.

=head2 command_p

  my $promise = $api->command_p('/interface/print');

  $promise->then(
  sub {
      my $res = shift;
      ...
  })->catch(sub {
      my ($err, $attr) = @_;
  });

Same as L</command>, but always performs requests non-blocking and returns a
L<Mojo::Promise> object instead of accepting a callback. L<Mojolicious> v7.54+ is
required for promises functionality.

=head2 subscribe

  my $tag = $api->subscribe('/ping',
      {address => '127.0.0.1'} => sub {
        my ($api, $err, $res) = @_;
      });

  Mojo::IOLoop->timer(
      3 => sub { $api->cancel($tag) }
  );

Subscribe to an output of commands with continuous responses such as C<listen> or
C<ping>. Should be terminated with L</cancel>.

=head1 DEBUGGING

You can set the API_MIKROTIK_DEBUG environment variable to get some debug output
printed to stderr.

Also, you can change connection timeout with the API_MIKROTIK_CONNTIMEOUT variable.
