title: Erlang: is there an API to 'epmd'?
body: <p>Is there a way to query the name table that epmd daemon manages?</p>
  
  <p>The <em>nodes()</em> function isn't very helpful on that front.</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I am looking for an API <strong>aside</strong> from parsing the output generated through stdout.</p>
