 Better API to load/store pf. formats (may be parse?) from bindings (and r2pipe)

Could you details those ? The first two are dup i've pointed to existing open issues

[XVilka]

About improving help for the command - group the similar things, like byte-dword, chars-strings, etc.
About API - not sure how it should look exactly, but something more useful.

@oxcabe can you please help also to improve the pf?? and pf??? output, so it will be grouped by contexts (it will help you to understand the pf commands as well).
See also Print Modes chapter of the book, so that it should be synchronized with the new pf output.

Can I be assigned to this issue please?

Can you give me the syntax of the command related to radareorg/radare2#414 please? It seems to be like pft something

EDIT: pft is already taken.

[radare]

you are now in charge of it :)

Thank you @radare

@radare do I use the command pfe? I read your post radareorg/radare2#414. The command pef should be better because we can add stuff after the command such as pefj for json format.

This issue has been moved from radareorg/radare2 to radareorg/ideas as we are trying to clean our backlog and this issue has probably been created a long while ago. This is an effort to help contributors understand what are the actionable items they can work on, prioritize issues better and help users find active/duplicated issues more easily. If this is not an enhancement/improvement/general idea but a bug, feel free to ask for re-transfer to main repo. Thanks for your understanding and contribution with this issue.
