""" Utility module handle program args and give help

File: utilsArgsParse.py
Overview: Python module to parse and validate program parameters
against those required by the program whether mandatory
or optional.
Also give help information on arguments required by the
program.

#++---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Details: Validate the arguments passed in against the mandatory and
# optional arguments specified. The argument format for the parameters
# is required to work with the module getopt function getopt().
# Parameter vDictArgReq specifies which parameters are mandatory and
# which are optional. The format is for example:
# dictArgReq = {"-h": "o", # o = optional, m = mandatory
# "-m": "m",
# "--targetDir": "m",
# "--cfgBldDir": "o" }
# Args: vArgv - (R) List of arguments and values.
# vstrListArgs - (R) List of small arguments.
# vListLongArgs - (R) List of long arguments.
# vDictArgReq - (R) Map of arguments required.
# vstrHelpInfo - (R) Formatted help text.
# Returns: Int - 0 success.
# 1 success display information, do nothing else.
# -1 error invalid parameters.
# -2 error incorrect number of mandatory parameters.
# Dict - Map of arguments names to argument values
# Str - Error message.
# Throws: None.
