RIBCL General Guidelines

In this section, all of the commands are grouped by functionality. All commands that manipulate user information are grouped together. Grouping commands allows the firmware to view the data to be manipulated as a block of information, similar to a text document, allowing for multithreaded access to the different kinds of information.

An opening command opens a database. The database remains open until the matching closing command is sent. All changes made within a single command block are applied simultaneously when the database is closed. Any errors within the block cause the enclosed changes to be discarded.

An example of an opening command and its matching closing command are as follows:
