Item Explanation
Italic Variables, such as outlet_number, are italicized.
| A vertical line between items enclosed in
brackets [ ] or braces {}indicates that the items
are mutually exclusive; you cannot use more
than one of the items.
[ ] Brackets enclosing an item or series of items
indicates that the item or series is optional. Any
item not enclosed in brackets or braces is
required.
{} Braces enclosing two or more items, separated
by the vertical line character, indicate that the
items are mutually exclusive but that you must
use one of the items. Any item not enclosed in
braces or brackets is required.
Large braces have the same meaning as braces
{}, but items are “stacked” on separate lines
within the large braces to simplify complex
syntax.
... Ellipses following a variable item indicate that
additional items of the same type can follow.
All other
characters
All unitalicized text and all punctuation marks
are to be entered literally.
