(LOGO.JPG) Python for OpenVMS

The documentation of Python for OpenVMS uses a number of conventions:

The printed documentation (files '*.MEM' and '*.LNI') contain a table of contents and an index that are generated by RUNOFF.

Some lines (commands or output messages) which are too long for a single line are manually wrapped. This is indicated by a trailing backslash (\). Here is an example:

UAF> add /identifier ID_1 /attributes=resource
%UAF-I-RDBADDMSG, identifier ID_1 value %X80010011 added to rights\
 database                                                         ^
                                                                  |

The HTML version which you can read with a browser has both a simple table of contents and an index, which are manually maintained.


You very likely have found out already that the documention is scattered with lots of dates. They indicate the last time a specific chapter, page, or paragraph has been modified or a specific sentence stating a fact has been checked.
If you read the documentation from a browser you will see that some pages have LOTS of hypertext links. They should help you to easily switch between the information.
Places where information is missing or perhaps incorrect are marked with '@@'.
