# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`
# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting

Plugin Example
Crate with a simple example of the Plugin trait that needs to be implemented in order to create a binary that can be registered into nushell declaration list
example config
This subcommand demonstrates sending configuration from the nushell $env.config to a plugin.
To make use of the plugin after building nushell run:
plugin add target/debug/nu_plugin_example
# or then either restart your current nushell session or run:
plugin use target/debug/nu_plugin_example
The configuration for the plugin lives in $env.config.plugins.example:
$env.config = {
plugins: {
example: [
some
values
]
}
}
To list plugin values run:
example config
