The current version of this module exploits the stdin / stdout pipe functionality and
task integration that is now build into the NodeNMCU Lua core.
There are two nice advantages of this core implementation:
- Errors are now written to stdout in a separate task execution.
- The pipes pretty much eliminate UART and telnet overrun.
Both have the same interface if required into the variable `telnet`
## telnet:open()
Open a telnet server based on the provided parameters.
#### Syntax
`telnet:open(ssid, pwd, port)`
#### Parameters
`ssid` and `password`. Strings. SSID and Password for the Wifi network. If these are
`nil` then the wifi is assumed to be configured or auto-configured.
`port`. Integer TCP listening port for the Telnet service. The default is 2323
#### Returns
Nothing returned (this is evaluated as `nil` in a scalar context).
## telnet:close()
Close a telnet server and release all resources. Also set the variable `telnet` to nil to fully reference and GC the resources.
#### Syntax
`telnet:close()`
#### Parameters
None
#### Returns
Nothing returned (this is evaluated as `nil` in a scalar context).
