"""Utilities for producing help strings for use in Fire CLIs.
Can produce help strings suitable for display in Fire CLIs for any type of
Python object, module, class, or function.
There are two types of informative strings: Usage and Help screens.
Usage screens are shown when the user accesses a group or accesses a command
without calling it. A Usage screen shows information about how to use that group
or command. Usage screens are typically short and show the minimal information
necessary for the user to determine how to proceed.
Help screens are shown when the user requests help with the help flag (--help).
Help screens are shown in a less-style console view, and contain detailed help
information.
