+"""
+@simplecommand is a decorator which is meant to replace @hook.command in redstoner-utils, where useful.
+It takes care of checks such as whether the sender is a player, whether they have permission,
+whether there are enough argumens, and also takes care of a help message.
+On top of that, it makes the code shorter and easier to write with features like Validate, and returning a message instead of a boolean value.
+@simplecommand has an inbuilt tracing feature, so you won't have to put all your code in a try/except statement anymore.
+Make sure to `from basecommands import simplecommand` before using this decorator.
 
+The arguments are as follows:
+* cmd: the command, self explanatory (required);
+
+* aliases: A list containing any aliases for the command, like shortcuts;
+
+* usage: a String defining the expected arguments for the command. Example:
+    Let's say I have a command /tp <player_to_teleport> <destination_player>. The usage is: "<player_to_teleport> <destination_player>".
+    I suggest we use the same format throughout redstoner-utils:
+    - Separate arguments by spaces;
+    - Use <> if the argument is required, and [] if the argument is optional;
+    - Add .. to the argument's identifier (name) if it is for example a message (containing spaces).
+      for example in /msg, the usage would be "<player> <msg..>"
+
+* description: a description of what the command does. Defaults to "Handles cmd".
+    This is used for the help message, where the description is (meant to be) indented. To keep this indentation 
+    with longer descriptions, call the help message (with the command, ingame) and add '\n' 
+    when it jumps to a new line in the chat. The decorator will take care of the indentation after that.
+
+* senderLimit: an integer resembling the accepted sender type. Defaults to -1. Use:
+    -1 for console as well as players;
+    0 for players only;
+    1 for console only.
+
+* amin: an integer resembling the minimum amount of arguments. Defaults to 0
+
+* amax: an integer resembling the maximum amount of arguments. Defaults to -1, which means that there is no maximum.
+
+* helpNoargs: a boolean value resembling whether the help message should be displayed when no arguments are given.
+    Defaults to False.
+
+* helpSubcmd: a boolean value resembling whether the help message should be displayed when the first argument.lower() equals "help".
+    Defaults to False.
+
+Comments on the function added to the decorator:
+It should return a message to send to the player. Color codes are translated automatically. It can return None or an empty string to send nothing.
+
+Inside the function, calls to static methods in the class Validate can be used to make the code shorter and easier to write (maybe not easier to read).
+For example, to make sure that a condition is met, use Validate.isTrue(condition, message to send to the player if the condition is not met)
+Don't forget to `from basecommands import Validate` if you wish to make use of this.
+For all other Validate checks, see the code below. Feel free to add your own.
+
+Instead of returning a message mid-code to describe an error, you can also use raise CommandException(msg), but it is almost always possible
+to replace this return statement with a call to one of the functions in the Validate class. Once again, if you use raise CommandException(msg),
+don't forget to `from basecommands import CommandException`.
