def pldmtool(option_string, **bsu_options):
    r"""
    Run pldmtool on the BMC with the caller's option string and return the result.

    Example:

    ${pldm_results}=  Pldmtool  base GetPLDMTypes
    Rprint Vars  pldm_results

    pldm_results:
      pldmtool base GetPLDMVersion -t 0

          "Response": "1.0.0"
      }

     pldmtool base GetTID
     {
         "Response": 1
     }

    Description of argument(s):
    option_string                   A string of options which are to be processed by the pldmtool command.
    parse_results                   Parse the pldmtool results and return a dictionary rather than the raw
                                    pldmtool output.
    bsu_options                     Options to be passed directly to bmc_execute_command.  See its prolog for
                                    details.
