If you mean "Bash's equivalent of Python's docstrings" I'm afraid I have to disappoint you that there is no such thing.
However.. I must say that implementing an equivalent of the "docstrings" feature would make for a very interesting homework in order to learn Bash's programmable-completion facility along with how to override a builtin command such as help
to display either such "docstrings" or the normal builtin help
's output.
