CORBA 2.3.3 Getting Started Guide (NonStop CORBA 2.3.3+)

[ ]
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.
" "
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 ]...
