Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types
attachment (att)		bool
	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.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
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
	Returns the number of devices currently attached.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.deviceManager

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# FIXME: get python sytax for above query.
pm.deviceManager("layer1", root=True)
