[ ] Brackets

Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:

TERM [\system-name.]$terminal-name

INT[ERRUPTS]

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can
choose one item or none. 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:

FC [ num ]
[ -num ]
[ text ]

K [ X | D ] address

{ } Braces

A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are
required to choose one item. 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:

LISTOPENS PROCESS { $appl-mgr-name }
{ $process-name }

ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }

| Vertical Line

A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed
in brackets or braces. For example:

INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }

… Ellipsis

An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates
that you can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number
of times. For example:

M address [ , new-value ]…

- ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}…

An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that
you can repeat that syntax item any number of times. For example:

"s-char…"

Punctuation

Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously
described must be typed as shown. For example:

error := NEXTFILENAME ( file-name ) ;

LISTOPENS SU $process-name.#su-name

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:

"[" repetition-constant-list "]"

Item Spacing

Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is
a punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:

CALL STEPMOM ( process-id ) ;

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:
