+Functions of class afb_service
+==============================
+
+All the functions of the class **afb_daemon** use the default api.
+This are internally aliased to the corresponding legacy function of
+class **afb_api**.
+
+```C
+/**
+ * Calls the 'verb' of the 'api' with the arguments 'args' and 'verb' in the name of the binding.
+ * The result of the call is delivered to the 'callback' function with the 'callback_closure'.
+ *
+ * For convenience, the function calls 'json_object_put' for 'args'.
+ * Thus, in the case where 'args' should remain available after
+ * the function returns, the function 'json_object_get' shall be used.
+ *
+ * The 'callback' receives 3 arguments:
+ * 1. 'closure' the user defined closure pointer 'callback_closure',
+ * 2. 'status' a status being 0 on success or negative when an error occured,
+ * 2. 'result' the resulting data as a JSON object.
+ *
+ * @param api The api name of the method to call
+ * @param verb The verb name of the method to call
+ * @param args The arguments to pass to the method
+ * @param callback The to call on completion
+ * @param callback_closure The closure to pass to the callback
+ *
+ * @see also 'afb_req_subcall'
+ */
+void afb_service_call(
+ const char *api,
+ const char *verb,
+ struct json_object *args,
+ void (*callback)(void*closure, int status, struct json_object *result),
+ void *callback_closure);
+
+/**
