- Items between square brackets (example: [ --option <parameter> ]) are optional and may therefore be omited.
- An item between curly brackets (example: { <help> }) is to be used on a specific condition (as explained in the text).
- The "|" symbol represents an exclusive or.
- Shell commands and files contents are displayed using a fixed font, example:
