[Linux-cluster] Clarification on the FenceAgentAPI

There seems to be some confusion in the API 
(http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FenceAgentAPI) and whether 
'option' or 'action' is the proper argument used to tell the fence agent 
what to do. Currently I check for both, but would like some clarity on this.

More confusing though is this:

-----------------
Per email conversation, monitor is also a required operations for new 
agents and if it is single port hw then it will call 'status', if it is 
multi port hw then it will call 'list'. In both cases it should not 
print output
-----------------

The API document doesn't talk about the 'monitor' or 'list' arguments. 
Can someone clarify what these actions are support to request from the 
agent?

Thanks kindly!
