 ## Using the server
-```
-$ cargo r -r --bin epoxy-server -- --help
-Implementation of the Wisp protocol in Rust, made for epoxy.
-
-Usage: epoxy-server [OPTIONS]
-
-Options:
-      --prefix <PREFIX>  [default: ]
-  -p, --port <PORT>      [default: 4000]
-  -b, --host <HOST>      [default: 0.0.0.0]

-```
-cargo r -r -- -u -b "/home/user/epoxy-socket"
-```
