About This Manual Notation for Messages
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 ve rtically, with aligned brackets on each side of the list, or
horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For
example:
LDEV ldev [ CU %ccu | CU %... ] UP [ (cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit) ]
{ } 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 ve rtically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in
a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:
LBU { X | Y } POWER FAIL
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 }
For example, this host error message contains two sets of alternatives, and reports
one item from each set:
<'Fatal' | 'Unexpected'> file system error <error code>
occurred during a <'ADD_NAME' | 'LISTEN' | 'RECEIVE_ANY' |
'SEND'> attempt.
The error message that you see contains this information:
Fatal or Unexpected
ADD_NAME or LISTEN or RECEIVE_ANY or SEND

% notation precedes an octal number. The %B no tation precedes a binary number.
The %H notation precedes a hexadecimal number. For example:
%005400
%B101111
