#### Generating usage and help messages
`get_help` and `get_usage` methods of Parser and Command classes can be used to generate their help and usage messages.
`:get_help()` and `get_usage:()` methods of Parser and Command classes can be used to generate their help and usage messages.
#### Parsing algorithm
argparse interprets command-line arguments in the following way:
Argument | Interpretation
--- | ---
`foo` | An argument of an option or a positional argument.
`--foo` | An option.
`--foo=bar` | An option and its argument. The option must be able to take arguments.
`-f` | An option.
`-abcdef` | Letters are interpreted as options. If one of them can take an argument, the rest of the string is passed to it.
`--` | The rest of the command-line arguments will be interpreted as positional arguments.
