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.
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.
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.
