Conventions
The following conventions are used in this manual:
Ctrl/x
A sequence such as Ctrl/x indicates that you must hold down
the key labeled Ctrl while you press another key or a pointing
device button.
PF1 x
A sequence such as PF1 x indicates that you must first press
and release the key labeled PF1 and then press and release
another key or a pointing device button.
Return
In examples, a key name enclosed in a box indicates that
you press a key on the keyboard. (In text, a key name is not
enclosed in a box.)
In the HTML version of this document, this convention appears
as brackets, rather than a box.
. . .
A horizontal ellipsis in examples indicates one of the following
possibilities:
•
Additional optional arguments in a statement have been
omitted.
•
The preceding item or items can be repeated one or more
times.
•
Additional parameters, values, or other information can be
entered.
.
.
.
A vertical ellipsis indicates the omission of items from a code
example or command format; the items are omitted because
they are not important to the topic being discussed.
( )
In command format descriptions, parentheses indicate that you
must enclose the options in parentheses if you choose more
than one.
[ ]
In command format descriptions, brackets indicate optional
elements. You can choose one, none, or all of the options.
(Brackets are not optional, however, in the syntax of a directory
name in an OpenVMS file specification or in the syntax of a
substring specification in an assignment statement.)
[ | ]
In command format descriptions, vertical bars separating
items inside brackets indicate that you choose one, none, or
more than one of the options.
{ }
In command format descriptions, braces indicate required
elements; you must choose one of the options listed.
