1.3.5 Format of Descriptions
----------------------------

Functions and commands are described in this manual in a uniform format.
The first line of a description contains the name of the item followed
by its arguments, if any.  If there are multiple ways to invoke the
function then each allowable form is listed.

   The description follows on succeeding lines, sometimes with examples.
