-### `server.ext(event, method, [options])`
+### `server.ext(events)`
 
 Registers an extension function in one of the available extension points where:
-- `event` - the event name.
-- `method` - a function or an array of functions to be executed at a specified point during request
-  processing. The required extension function signature is:
-    - server extension points: `function(server, next)` where:
-        - `server` - the server object.
-        - `next` - the continuation method with signature `function(err)`.
-        - `this` - the object provided via `options.bind` or the current active context set with
-          [`server.bind()`](#serverbindcontext).
-    - request extension points: `function(request, reply)` where:
-        - `request` - the [request object](#request-object).
-        - `reply` - the [reply interface](#reply-interface) which is used to return control back to the
-          framework. To continue normal execution of the [request lifecycle](#request-lifecycle),
-          `reply.continue()` must be called. To abort processing and return a response to the client,
-          call `reply(value)` where value is an error or any other valid response.
-        - `this` - the object provided via `options.bind` or the current active context set with
-          [`server.bind()`](#serverbindcontext).
-- `options` - an optional object with the following:
-    - `before` - a string or array of strings of plugin names this method must execute before (on
-      the same event). Otherwise, extension methods are executed in the order added.
-    - `after` - a string or array of strings of plugin names this method must execute after (on the
-      same event). Otherwise, extension methods are executed in the order added.
-    - `bind` - a context object passed back to the provided method (via `this`) when called.
-
-The available extension points include the [request extension points](#request-lifecycle) as well
-as the following server extension points:
-- `'onPreStart'` - called before the connection listeners are started.
-- `'onPostStart'` - called after the connection listeners are started.
-- `'onPreStop'` - called before the connection listeners are stopped.
-- `'onPostStop'` - called after the connection listeners are stopped.
