class Output(ReadOnly):
    """
    Simple description of a member in the return value ``dict``.

    This class controls both the type of object being returned by
    a command as well as how the output will be displayed.

    For example, this class defines two return results: an entry
    and a value.

    >>> from ipalib import crud, output
    >>> class user(crud.Update):
    ...
    ...     has_output = (
    ...         output.Entry('result'),
    ...         output.value,
    ...     )

    The order of the values in has_output controls the order of output.
    If you have values that you don't want to be printed then add
    ``'no_display'`` to flags.

    The difference between ``'no_dipslay`` and ``'no_output'`` is
    that ``'no_output`` will prevent a Param value from being returned
    at all. ``'no_display'`` will cause the API to return a value, it
    simply won't be displayed to the user. This is so some things may
    be returned that while not interesting to us, but may be to others.

    >>> from ipalib import crud, output
    >>> myvalue = output.Output('myvalue', unicode,
    ...     'Do not print this value', flags=['no_display'],
    ... )
    >>> class user(crud.Update):
    ...
    ...     has_output = (
    ...         output.Entry('result'),
    ...         myvalue,
    ...     )
