"""
Analyze docstrings to detect errors.

If no argument is provided, it does a quick check of docstrings and returns
a csv with all API functions and results of basic checks.

If a function or method is provided in the form "pandas.function",
"pandas.module.class.method", etc. a list of all errors in the docstring for
the specified function or method.
