Convention Description

value In Fibre Channel products, a fixed value provided as input to a command

option is printed in plain text, for example, --show WWN.

[ ] Syntax components displayed within square brackets are optional.

Default responses to system prompts are enclosed in square brackets.

{ x | y | z }A choice of required parameters is enclosed in curly brackets separated by

vertical bars. You must select one of the options.

In Fibre Channel products, square brackets may be used instead for this

purpose.

x | yA vertical bar separates mutually exclusive elements.

< > Nonprinting characters, for example, passwords, are enclosed in angle

brackets.

... Repeat the previous element, for example, member[member...].

\Indicates a “soft” line break in command examples. If a backslash separates

two lines of a command input, enter the entire command at the prompt without

the backslash.
