[ ] 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 can 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 can 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 }
