+# API
+
+The API that événement exposes is defined by the
+`Evenement\EventEmitterInterface`. The interface is useful if you want to
+define an interface that extends the emitter and implicitly defines certain
+events to be emitted, or if you want to type hint an `EventEmitter` to be
+passed to a method without coupling to the specific implementation.
+
+## on($event, callable $listener)
+
+Allows you to subscribe to an event.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+$emitter->on('user.created', function (User $user) use ($logger) {
+ $logger->log(sprintf("User '%s' was created.", $user->getLogin()));
+});
+```
+
+Since the listener can be any callable, you could also use an instance method
+instead of the anonymous function:
+
+```php
+$loggerSubscriber = new LoggerSubscriber($logger);
+$emitter->on('user.created', array($loggerSubscriber, 'onUserCreated'));
+```
+
+This has the benefit that listener does not even need to know that the emitter
+exists.
+
+You can also accept more than one parameter for the listener:
+
+```php
+$emitter->on('numbers_added', function ($result, $a, $b) {});
+```
+
+## once($event, callable $listener)
+
+Convenience method that adds a listener which is guaranteed to only be called
+once.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+$conn->once('connected', function () use ($conn, $data) {
+ $conn->send($data);
+});
+```
+
+## emit($event, array $arguments = [])
+
+Emit an event, which will call all listeners.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+$conn->emit('data', [$data]);
+```
+
+The second argument to emit is an array of listener arguments. This is how you
+specify more args:
+
+```php
+$result = $a + $b;
+$emitter->emit('numbers_added', [$result, $a, $b]);
+```
+
+## listeners($event)
+
+Allows you to inspect the listeners attached to an event. Particularly useful
+to check if there are any listeners at all.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+$e = new \RuntimeException('Everything is broken!');
+if (0 === count($emitter->listeners('error'))) {
+ throw $e;
+}
+```
+
+## removeListener($event, callable $listener)
+
+Remove a specific listener for a specific event.
+
+## removeAllListeners($event = null)
+
+Remove all listeners for a specific event or all listeners all together. This
+is useful for long-running processes, where you want to remove listeners in
+order to allow them to get garbage collected.
