Your man pages for chkconfig

[Derek Robert Price]

Erik,

Derek Price here, one of the developers of CVS.

Just curious, I was wondering if there was some sort of standard defined 
that led you to use the <> characters to bracket literal strings in the 
usage spec for chkconfig or if you could point us to some examples of 
similar usages.

We were trying to reach a decision on the format to use in `cvs watch' 
section of the CVS manual.  I initially used "(on|off)", and another 
developer suggested {} was the standard.  Then I found your <>.  Just 
wondering if you knew if there _was_ an existing standard.  I've failed 
to turn up one in my google searches so far and I've yet to find another 
example in my man or info pages.

Derek
