+Phosphor Fan Presence (PFP) YAML parser and code generator.
+
+Parse the provided PFP configuration file and generate C++ code.
+
+The parser workflow is broken down as follows:
+  1 - Import the YAML configuration file as native python type(s)
+        instance(s).
+  2 - Create an instance of the Everything class from the
+        native python type instance(s) with the Everything.load
+        method.
+  3 - The Everything class constructor orchestrates conversion of the
+        native python type(s) instances(s) to render helper types.
+        Each render helper type constructor imports its attributes
+        from the native python type(s) instances(s).
+  4 - Present the converted YAML to the command processing method
+        requested by the script user.
