General Syntax Notation
This list summarizes the notation conventions for syntax presentation in this manual.
UPPERCASE LETTERS
Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words. Type these items exactly as shown.
Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a required
character that you must type as shown. For example:

Item Spacing

If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In this example, no spaces are
permitted between the period and any other items:

If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation line is indented
three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes
items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For example:
