Icon Conventions
Comment icons identify three types of information, as the following table
describes. This information always appears in italics.
Command-Line Conventions
OnLine supports a variety of command-line options. These are commands
that you enter at the operating system prompt to perform certain functions
as part of OnLine administration.
This section defines and illustrates the format of the commands. These
commands have their own conventions, which may include alternative
forms of a command, required and optional parts of the command, and so
forth.
Each diagram displays the sequences of required and optional elements that
are valid in a command. A diagram begins at the upper left with a command.
It ends at the upper right with a vertical line. Between these points, you can
trace any path that does not stop or back up. Each path describes a valid form
of the command. You must supply a value for words that are in italics.
