+Padinfo file
+-------------
+The easiest way to use etherdump is to create a padinfo JSON file that contains all the information necessary to connect to a particular etherpad server (including hostname, port, and API key).
+
+    cp padinfo.sample.json padinfo.json
+    nano padinfo.json
+
+And then...
+
+    etherdump --padinfo padinfo.json list
+
+
+listpads
+----------
+
+To dump the names of the pads in JSON format:
+
+    ./etherdump --padinfo padinfo.json listpads
+
+    ./etherdump --padinfo padinfo.json listpads > pads.json
+
+To format for the screen add the --lines option:
+
+    ./etherdump --padinfo padinfo.json listpads --lines
+
