Derived from mel command maya.cmds.contextInfo

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a particle tool context, then switch to it
pm.dynParticleCtx('dynParticleCtx1')
# Result: u'dynParticleCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('dynParticleCtx1')

# Get the class type of the current context
ctx = pm.currentCtx()
pm.contextInfo(ctx, c=True)
# Result: u'dynParticle' #

# Get the title of the current context
pm.contextInfo(ctx, t=True)
# Result: u'Particle Tool' #
