 # Specification
 
-`parse_args` parses arguments in the following way, assuming the following command line arguments (`sys.argv`):
-
-`['/pargs/pargs.py', 'command', 'positional', '--flag', '--optional=value', 'test', '--output-file', 'filename', '-flg', 'name', 'name2']`

 By calling `args, kwargs = parse_args()`, this would return the following list and dict:
 
 ```python
-args = ['/pargs/pargs.py', 'command', 'positional'],
+args = ['/pargs/pargs.py', 'command', 'positional']

         'flag': True,
