+    :param these: A dictionary of name to `attr.ib` mappings.  This is

         because you can't (e.g. if you want to add ``__repr__`` methods to
         Django models) or don't want to.
 
         If *these* is not ``None``, ``attrs`` will *not* search the class body

     :param str repr_ns: When using nested classes, there's no way in Python 2
         to automatically detect that.  Therefore it's possible to set the

+    :param bool auto_detect: Instead of setting the *init*, *repr*, *eq*,
+        *order*, and *hash* arguments explicitly, assume they are set to
+        ``True`` **unless any** of the involved methods for one of the
+        arguments is implemented in the *current* class (i.e. it is *not*
+        inherited from some base class).
+
+        So for example by implementing ``__eq__`` on a class yourself,
+        ``attrs`` will deduce ``eq=False`` and will create *neither*
+        ``__eq__`` *nor* ``__ne__`` (but Python classes come with a sensible
+        ``__ne__`` by default, so it *should* be enough to only implement

+
+           If you prevent ``attrs`` from creating the ordering methods for you
+           (``order=False``, e.g. by implementing ``__le__``), it becomes
+           *your* responsibility to make sure its ordering is sound. The best
+           way is to use the `functools.total_ordering` decorator.
+
+
+        Passing ``True`` or ``False`` to *init*, *repr*, *eq*, *order*,
+        *cmp*, or *hash* overrides whatever *auto_detect* would determine.
+
+        *auto_detect* requires Python 3. Setting it ``True`` on Python 2 raises

+    :param bool weakref_slot: Make instances weak-referenceable.  This has no
+        effect unless ``slots`` is also enabled.
+    :param bool auto_attribs: If ``True``, collect :pep:`526`-annotated
+        attributes (Python 3.6 and later only) from the class body.
+
+        In this case, you **must** annotate every field.  If ``attrs``
+        encounters a field that is set to an `attr.ib` but lacks a type
+        annotation, an `attr.exceptions.UnannotatedAttributeError` is
+        raised.  Use ``field_name: typing.Any = attr.ib(...)`` if you don't
+        want to set a type.
+
+        If you assign a value to those attributes (e.g. ``x: int = 42``), that
+        value becomes the default value like if it were passed using
+        ``attr.ib(default=42)``.  Passing an instance of `attrs.Factory` also
+        works as expected in most cases (see warning below).
+
+        Attributes annotated as `typing.ClassVar`, and attributes that are
+        neither annotated nor set to an `attr.ib` are **ignored**.
+
+        .. warning::
+           For features that use the attribute name to create decorators (e.g.
+           `validators <validators>`), you still *must* assign `attr.ib` to
+           them. Otherwise Python will either not find the name or try to use
+           the default value to call e.g. ``validator`` on it.
+
+           These errors can be quite confusing and probably the most common bug
+           report on our bug tracker.
+
+    :param bool kw_only: Make all attributes keyword-only (Python 3+)
+        in the generated ``__init__`` (if ``init`` is ``False``, this
+        parameter is ignored).
+    :param bool cache_hash: Ensure that the object's hash code is computed
+        only once and stored on the object.  If this is set to ``True``,
+        hashing must be either explicitly or implicitly enabled for this
+        class.  If the hash code is cached, avoid any reassignments of
+        fields involved in hash code computation or mutations of the objects
+        those fields point to after object creation.  If such changes occur,
+        the behavior of the object's hash code is undefined.
+    :param bool auto_exc: If the class subclasses `BaseException`
+        (which implicitly includes any subclass of any exception), the
+        following happens to behave like a well-behaved Python exceptions
+        class:
+
+        - the values for *eq*, *order*, and *hash* are ignored and the
+          instances compare and hash by the instance's ids (N.B. ``attrs`` will
+          *not* remove existing implementations of ``__hash__`` or the equality
+          methods. It just won't add own ones.),
+        - all attributes that are either passed into ``__init__`` or have a
+          default value are additionally available as a tuple in the ``args``
+          attribute,
+        - the value of *str* is ignored leaving ``__str__`` to base classes.
+    :param bool collect_by_mro: Setting this to `True` fixes the way ``attrs``
+       collects attributes from base classes.  The default behavior is
+       incorrect in certain cases of multiple inheritance.  It should be on by
+       default but is kept off for backward-compatibility.
+
+       See issue `#428 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/428>`_ for
+       more details.
+
+    :param Optional[bool] getstate_setstate:
+       .. note::
+          This is usually only interesting for slotted classes and you should
+          probably just set *auto_detect* to `True`.
+
+       If `True`, ``__getstate__`` and
+       ``__setstate__`` are generated and attached to the class. This is
+       necessary for slotted classes to be pickleable. If left `None`, it's
+       `True` by default for slotted classes and ``False`` for dict classes.
+
+       If *auto_detect* is `True`, and *getstate_setstate* is left `None`,
+       and **either** ``__getstate__`` or ``__setstate__`` is detected directly
+       on the class (i.e. not inherited), it is set to `False` (this is usually
+       what you want).
+
+    :param on_setattr: A callable that is run whenever the user attempts to set
+        an attribute (either by assignment like ``i.x = 42`` or by using
+        `setattr` like ``setattr(i, "x", 42)``). It receives the same arguments
+        as validators: the instance, the attribute that is being modified, and
+        the new value.
+
+        If no exception is raised, the attribute is set to the return value of
+        the callable.
+
+        If a list of callables is passed, they're automatically wrapped in an
+        `attrs.setters.pipe`.
+    :type on_setattr: `callable`, or a list of callables, or `None`, or
+        `attrs.setters.NO_OP`
+
+    :param Optional[callable] field_transformer:
+        A function that is called with the original class object and all
+        fields right before ``attrs`` finalizes the class.  You can use
+        this, e.g., to automatically add converters or validators to
+        fields based on their types.  See `transform-fields` for more details.
+
+    :param bool match_args:
+        If `True` (default), set ``__match_args__`` on the class to support
+        :pep:`634` (Structural Pattern Matching). It is a tuple of all
+        non-keyword-only ``__init__`` parameter names on Python 3.10 and later.
+        Ignored on older Python versions.
