+
+## Mocking
+
+* `_mock`: Mock a function using the mock in `tests/mocks/`
+  * `function_name`: name of the method to mock
+* `_mock_exit_status`: Mock a response exit status for a mock function
+  * `function_name`: name of the method to mock
+  * `status_code`: response to return
+* `_mock_response`: Mock a response for a mock function
+  * `function_name`: name of the method to mock
+  * `response`: response to return
+* `_clean_mock`: Clean a mock function  (warning: erase the function)
+  * `function_name`: name of the method to mock
+
+## Spying
+
+* `_spy`: Create a spy method so, you can check it's been called with `_has_called`
+  * `function_name`: name of the method to spy
+* `_has_called`: check spy method has been called, i.e has written to the /tmp/$function_name.mock_calls
+  * `function_name`: name of the that have been spied on
+  * `function_args` # arguments to passed to the spy
+
+## Cleaning
+
+* `_clean_all_mocks`: Clean all mock functions created by `_mock`
+* `_pure_unmock`: Restore a pure function by reloading its source
+  * `function_name`: name of the method to mock
+* `_clean_all_spy_calls`: Clean all spy calls created by `_spy`
