Each software object has user-defined attributes. Most attributes are optional. All objects and attributes are
defined using a
keyword value
syntax. The keyword is an identifier for the attribute.
Some attributes allow multiple values. You can specify values with a keyword/list syntax:
keyword value1 value2 value3 ...
You can also use a list following the keyword:
keyword
value1
value2
value3
...
Specific rules for each keyword are:
• All keywords require one or more values, except as noted. If the value is missing an error is
given.
• Comments must be preceded by #. A comment can appear on a line by itself or following the
keyword-value syntax within the PSF.
