&Command delimiter. See Running conman

+A delimiter used to select objects for commands. It adds an attribute the object must have. For example: sked1.@+priority=0

~A delimiter used to select objects for commands. It adds an attribute the object must not have. For example: sked1.@~priority=0

;Argument delimiter. For example:

;info;offline

,Repetition and range delimiter. For example:

state=hold,sked,pend

sj @#@.@

*Comment prefix. The prefix must be the first character on a command line or following a command delimiter. For example: *comment or sj& *comment

sj> joblist

>>Redirects command output to a file and appends the output to the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is created. For example:

sj >> joblist
