Naming Convention Summary
Naming Convention Summary
Table 8-2 summarizes the reserved names for each object type and the naming 
convention rules.
Wild-Card Support
Normally, an SCF command line must include an object specifier composed of the 
object type and an object name. For many commands, the NonStop TCP/IPv6 
subsystem accepts object-name templates. In an object-name template, one object 
name can be used to indicate that multiple objects of a given object type are to be 
affected by the command.
