Syntax Diagram Conventions
Command syntax is represented pictorially.
Figure 7-1 Command Syntax Figure
• Ovals enclose command mnemonics. The command mnemonic must
be entered exactly as shown.
• Circles and ovals surround secondary keywords or special numbers
and characters. The characters in circles and ovals are considered
reserved words and must be entered exactly as shown. Table 7-1 on
page 372 lists the characters and secondary keywords that are used
in the syntax diagrams.
Rectangles surround elements of the language being defined. All the
syntax elements are defined in Table 7-1.
A loop above a syntax element indicates that the syntax element can
be repeated.
Solid lines represent the recommended path.
Dotted lines indicate a optional path for bypassing secondary
keywords or using alternate units.
• Arrows and curved intersections indicate command path direction.
A semicolon, line feed (LF), carriage return (CR), space (SP), or
comma can be used to terminate the command line. A semicolon is
the recommended terminator.
NOTE Uppercase is recommended for entering all commands unless otherwise
noted.
