The following table explains the symbols used in this manual:

Symbol	Convention
`\|`	In syntax explanations, a vertical bar separates multiple items, and has the meaning of OR. For example: `A\|B\|C` means `A`, or `B`, or `C`.
`{` `}`	In syntax explanations, curly brackets indicate that only one of the enclosed items is to be selected. For example: `{A\|B\|C}` means only one of `A`, or `B`, or `C`.
