Punctuation
Parentheses, commas, equal signs, and other symbols not previously described
must be entered as shown. For example:
-D propertyName=newValue
Item spacing
Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a punctuation
symbol such as a parenthesis or comma. If there is no space between two items,
spaces are not permitted. In the following example, spaces are not permitted before
or after the period:
subvolume-name.filename
Line spacing
If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each line that is to be
continued on the next line ends with a back slash ( \ ) and each continuation line
begins with a greater-than symbol ( > ). For example:
/usr/bin/c89 -c -g -I /usr/tandem/java/include \
> -I /usr/tandem/java/include/oss -I . \
> -Wextensions -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 jnative01.c
