Open System Services NFS Overview

Line Spacing
If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation line is indented
three spaces and 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 / ] LINE
[ , attribute-spec ]
