discord.ext.commands - get attrs Arguments of Command

[niklasmoell]

Hello,
how can I get a attrs Keyword Argument from a Command?

For example:

@commands.command(name="test", usage="my usage")

How can I get the usage attribute now?

The way you would use an attr, I should think.
name.usage
That's how prettyhelp works too.

You can get the Command using bot.get_command('your_command_name') and use cmd.usage (where cmd is returned by get_command).

Alternatively, you can also use .usage on the decorated function. Like:

>>> @commands.command(usage='<usage>')
>>> async def foo(self, ctx): ...
>>>
>>> foo.usage
'<usage>'

Thanks a lot!

To add onto this, using the usage kwarg will override the signature attribute, which by default is a posix-style signature of the command.
