HELP = '''
Provide a shell used to send interactive commands to a zmq filter.

The command assumes there is a running zmq or azmq filter acting as a
ZMQ server.

You can send a command to it, follwing the syntax:
TARGET COMMAND [COMMAND_ARGS]

* TARGET is the target filter identifier to send the command to
* COMMAND is the name of the command sent to the filter
* COMMAND_ARGS is the optional specification of command arguments

See the zmq/azmq filters documentation for more details, and the
zeromq documentation at:
https://zeromq.org/
