Conventions
This section describes the formatting conventions used throughout the documentation.
 
Table 5: Formatting conventions in commands and their descriptions
Convention
Meaning
Bold
Bold formats literal text, i.e., commands, keywords, or options that must be entered exactly as displayed. For example:
dactions -save [ filename ]
italics
Italics format parameter values entered by the user, for example:
dactions -save myFile
[ ]
Brackets describe optional parts of a command. For example, in this command, both -g and -r are optional parameters:
dattach [-g gid] [-r hname ]
{ }
Curly braces wrap a group of entries where exactly one choice is required. For example, in this command, if you provide the -c parameter, you must provide a parameter value:
dattach [ -c { core-file | recording-file } ]
|
A vertical bar identifies a choice, for example, provide either a core-file or a recording-file:
dattach [ -c { core-file | recording-file } ]
