splunk.clilib documentation

Ive seen splunk.clilib used in numerous Splunk apps, however I cant find any documentation online for this. Are there any docs available?

Dito, I'm finding dozens of references to splunk.clilib and most code examples seem to still work with Splunk 7.3.x. However it is unclear if these libraries are to be deprecated or supported into the future. It is also crazy that I cannot find any library documentation defining methods, attributes and sub classes. If these libraries should not be used what are the alternatives and where are they documented. splunklib is well documented but does not cover the same range of capabilities as what I find by example in splunk.clilib.
