Notation for Messages

The following list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed

messages in this manual.

Nonitalic text. Nonitalic letters, numbers, and punctuation indicate text that is displayed or

returned exactly as shown. For example:

Backup Up.

lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items whose values are

displayed or returned. For example:

p-register

process-name

[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose items that are sometimes, but not always, displayed. For

example:

Event number = number [ Subject = first-subject-value ]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list of all possible items that can be displayed,

of which one or none might actually be displayed. The items in the list might 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:

proc-name trapped [ in SQL | in SQL file system ]

{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list of all possible items that can be

displayed, of which one is actually displayed. The items in the list might be arranged

either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in

a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:

obj-type obj-name state changed to state, caused by

{ Object | Operator | Service }

process-name State changed from old-objstate to objstate

{ Operator Request. }

{ Unknown. }

| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in

brackets or braces. For example:

Transfer status: { OK | Failed }

% Percent Sign. A percent sign precedes a number that is not in decimal notation. The

%þnotation precedes an octal number. The %Bþnotation precedes a binary number.

The %Hþnotation precedes a hexadecimal number. For example:

%005400

P=%p-register E=%e-register
