def define_flags():
  """Defines flags.

  All flags are defined as optional, but in practice most models use some of
  these flags and so mark_flags_as_required() should be called after calling
  this function. Typically, 'experiment', 'mode', and 'model_dir' are required.
  For example:

  ```
  from absl import flags
  from official.common import flags as tfm_flags  # pylint: disable=line-too-long
  ...
  tfm_flags.define_flags()
  flags.mark_flags_as_required(['experiment', 'mode', 'model_dir'])
  ```

  The reason all flags are optional is because unit tests often do not set or
  use any of the flags.
