nerve endings (e.g., control files, et cetera). To drive a nerve, one must provide
a verb (describing an operation) as well as a payload. An example of this command
is moving the cursor position to the HOME (0, 0) position:
.Bd -literal

A nerve may also be peeked at by using the 'peek' verb. Here is an example of the usage
of this verb:
.Bd -literal
nerve peek consfeat

verb nerve
