NonStop Server for Java (NSJ) Programmer's Guide (NSJ 2.0+)

A vertical line separates alternatives in a list that is enclosed in brackets or braces. For example:
where [threadID|all]
... Ellipsis
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:
print {objectID|objectName} ...
An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that syntax item
any number of times. For example:
dump objectID ...
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 backslash (\) 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
