+"""Environment variables and command line arguments parsing.
+
+This is a simple module utilizing the built-in argparse module to parse command line arguments,
+augment them with values from environment variables and make them available across the framework.
+
+The command line value takes precedence, followed by the environment variable value,
+followed by the default value defined in this module.
+
+The command line arguments along with the supported environment variables are:
+
+.. option:: --config-file
+.. envvar:: DTS_CFG_FILE
+
+    The path to the YAML test run configuration file.
+
+.. option:: --output-dir, --output
+.. envvar:: DTS_OUTPUT_DIR
+
+    The directory where DTS logs and results are saved.
+
+.. option:: --compile-timeout
+.. envvar:: DTS_COMPILE_TIMEOUT
+
+    The timeout for compiling DPDK.
+
+.. option:: -t, --timeout
+.. envvar:: DTS_TIMEOUT
+
+    The timeout for all DTS operation except for compiling DPDK.
+
+.. option:: -v, --verbose
+.. envvar:: DTS_VERBOSE
+
+    Set to any value to enable logging everything to the console.
+
+.. option:: -s, --skip-setup
+.. envvar:: DTS_SKIP_SETUP
+
+    Set to any value to skip building DPDK.
+
+.. option:: --tarball, --snapshot, --git-ref
+.. envvar:: DTS_DPDK_TARBALL
+
+    The path to a DPDK tarball, git commit ID, tag ID or tree ID to test.
+
+.. option:: --test-cases
+.. envvar:: DTS_TESTCASES
+
+    A comma-separated list of test cases to execute. Unknown test cases will be silently ignored.
+
+.. option:: --re-run, --re_run
+.. envvar:: DTS_RERUN
+
+    Re-run each test case this many times in case of a failure.
+
+The module provides one key module-level variable:
+
+Attributes:
+    SETTINGS: The module level variable storing framework-wide DTS settings.
+
+Typical usage example::
+
+  from framework.settings import SETTINGS
+  foo = SETTINGS.foo
