relationships.
Convention Description
bold text Identies command names, keywords, and command options.
italic text Identies a variable.
value In Fibre Channel products, a xed 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.
