$process-name.#su-name
Line Spacing. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation line
is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line. This spacing
distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For example:
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] CONTROLLER
[ , attribute-spec ]...

Notation for Messages

The following list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed messages
in this manual
Nonitalic text. Nonitalic letters, numbers, and punctuation indicate text that is displayed or returned
exactly as shown. For example:
Backup Up.
lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items whose values are displayed
or returned. For example:
p-register
process-name
[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose items that are sometimes, but not always, displayed. For example:
Event number = number [ Subject = first-subject-value
] A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list of all possible items that can be displayed, of which
one or none might actually be displayed. The items in the list might 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:
LDEV ldev [ CU %ccu | CU %... ] UP [ (cpu,chan,%ctlr,%unit) ]
{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list of all possible items that can be displayed,
of which one is actually displayed. The items in the list might 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:
LBU { X | Y } POWER FAIL
process-name State changed from old-objstate to objstate { Operator Request. } { Unknown. }
% Percent Sign. A percent sign precedes a number that is not in decimal notation. The %þnotation
precedes an octal number. The %Bþnotation precedes a binary number. The %Hþnotation precedes
a hexadecimal number. For example:
%005400
P=%p-register E=%e-register

Notation for Management Programming Interfaces

The following list summarizes the notation conventions used in the boxed descriptions of error lists
in this manual
UPPERCASE LETTERS. Uppercase letters indicate names from definition files; enter these names
