	Returns the plugs that a device and axis are attached to. Expects the -deviceIndex and axisIndex to be used in conjunction.
axisCoordChanges / acc		bool
	Returns whether the axis coordinate changes. Expects the -deviceIndex and -axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction.
axisIndex / axi		int
	Used usually in conjunction with other flags, to indicate the index of the axis.
axisName / axn		bool
	Returns the name of the axis. Expects the -deviceIndex and -axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction.
axisOffset / axo		bool
	Returns the offset of the axis. Expects the -deviceIndex and -axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction.
axisScale / axs		bool
	Returns the scale of the axis. Expects the -deviceIndex and -axisIndex flags to be used in conjunction.
deviceIndex / dvi		int
	Used usually in conjunction with other flags, to indicate the index of the device.
deviceNameFromIndex / dni		int
	Returns the name of the device with the given index.
numAxis / nax		bool
	Returns the number of axis this device has. Expects the -deviceIndex flag to be used.
numDevices / ndv		bool

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# FIXME: get python sytax for above query.
