This appendix documents ALI and ADI syntax, expressed in abstract form. Words in fixed-space font represent commands and literals, as do square brackets and semicolons. Words in italics are substitutable syntax elements.
The MLM server communicates with an LCP using the abstract library interface (ALI), while the LCP communicates with the MLM server using ALI response (ALI/R).
Table C-1, provides a syntax specification for the ALI language.
