Syntax conventions
Presentation of command syntax in this manual follows these conventions:
Brackets [ ] surround optional material.
Braces { } surround entries that require you to chose one of several options, which are separated by
the vertical bar, |.
Non-italicized text indicates literal values, that is, options or values that must be typed exactly as they
appear. Yes and no options are examples of literals.
Italicized text indicates that a type of information is required in that option. For example, filename
means that the name of a file is required in the option.
