Notation Conventions
Syntax Item Description
Bold text
Bold text in a paragraph indicates a technical term that is defined within the text
and also, in some cases, in the NonStop CORBA Glossary.
UPPERCASE
LETTERS
Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words; enter these items exactly
as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:
MAXATTACH
Italic letters
Items in Italicletters indicate variable items that you supply. Items not
enclosed in brackets are required. In the following example, UserDir is a
variable directory name, while /projectX must be entered exactly as shown:
UserDir/projectX
[ ]
Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:
TERM [\system-name.]$terminal-name
INT[ERRUPTS]
A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one
item or none. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned
brackets on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and
separated by vertical lines. For example:
LIGHTS [ ON ]
[ OFF ]
[ SMOOTH [ num ] ]
K [ X | D ] address-1
|
A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in brackets
or braces. For example:
INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }
...
An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you
can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For
example:
M address-1 [ , new-value ]...
[ - ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}...
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.
