Motorola About this Book xiii
Conventions
This manual uses the following notation conventions:
• Courier monospaced type indicates commands,command parameters, code,
expressions, data types, and directives.
•Curlybrackets{} are used in two ways.
In the context of the syntax of commands (for example, in a reference manual),
they enclose a list of command parameters from which you must choose one; the
curly brackets are not part of the command; you do not need to enter the curly
brackets.
In the context of arguments passed to the Motorola simulator or Motorola ADS
debugger, they enclose a C expression for evaluation. In this context, you must
enter the curly brackets.
• Square brackets [] enclose optional command parameters; for example,
wait[count(seconds)] indicates that count is an optional parameter. The
square brackets themselves arenot partofthe command; you donot needtoenter
them.
• A slash betweenitems in a list ofoptional parameters indicatesthat only one item
from that list may be used as a parameter to that command; that is, the items are
alternativesto eachother.Forexample,this commandlog [c/s/p] filename
indicatesthatlog c filename isa valid command, that log s filename is a
valid command, but log c s filename is not a valid command.
• Commands can be abbreviated; in the reference manuals and in this manual, for
example, wait indicates that you can type w for the wait command.
• Ellipsis (that is, three consecutive periods) in a command indicate that you can
repeat the preceding field. For example, the command
save address_block...indicates that you can save more than one block
at a time.
• All source code examples are in C or assembly code.
