- { ... }
items included in curly brackets are mandatory, i.e. you must supply a value.
- [ ... ]
items included in square brackets are optional, i.e. you do not have to supply a value.
- a | b

Character strings are enclosed in double quotes. Hexadecimal values are preceded by the two characters "0x" ("^X"). The character 'b' within a character string denotes a blank character.
