Table 18 Command Syntax Symbols (continued)

Symbol	Description
vertical bar	Separates mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be entered. For example, in the
	syntax:
	SET ScreenLength = [None <line>(6–100)]
	you can specify either the keyword None or enter a number between 6 and 100 when
	entering the command.
ellipsis ...	Following a parameter name or value, indicates that one or more additional arguments may
	be specified on the same command line. For example, in the syntax:
	ADD !<port> -IP SecAuthIn <authority> [<authority> ...] [ANY]
	you can specify multiple authorities (GENSER, SIOP, SCI, NSA, DOE, NONE) when entering
	the command.
hyphen -	A letter preceded by a hyphen represents a command option. Also, when you enter a service
	name as part of the command, you must precede the service name with a hyphen. For
	example, in the command:
	SETDefault -BRidge CONTrol = Bridge
	the hyphen must be included with the service name BRidge when entering the command.
braces { }	Enclose a list of values, one of which must be entered. For example, in the syntax:
	SETDefault !<subaddr #> -Gateway SubAddrMap = {(<IPaddr> <PSAPaddr>)
	None}
	you must enter either an IP address, presentation service access point (PSAP) address, or the
	keyword None when entering the command.

exclamation mark ! A number preceded by an exclamation mark represents a port, virtual port, or path number. For example, in the syntax:

SHow [!<port>] -DECnet CONFiguration

the exclamation mark must be included before the port number when entering the command.
