CORBA 2.6.1 Programmer's Guide for C++

An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that syntax item any number of
times. For example:
"s-char..."
- A dash in a command usually indicates a separate flag.
" " When quotation marks surround a defined syntax symbol (such as a bracket or brace), they symbolize an actual
character that must be entered as shown. For example:
"[" repetition-constant-list "]"
Other
punctuation
Punctuation not previously described (such as parentheses, commas, and semicolons) must be entered as shown.
For example:
error := NEXTFILENAME ( file-name ) ;
LISTOPENS SU $process-name.#su-name
Long
Commands
If the syntax of a command is too long to be shown on a single line, each continuation line is indented three
spaces, the first of which is separated from the preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a
continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For example:
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] CONTROLLER
[ , attribute-spec ]...
