The name of a query or set packet should be separated from any
parameters by a @samp{:}; the parameters themselves should be

packets should not begin with @samp{qP} or @samp{qL}@footnote{The
@samp{qP} and @samp{qL} packets predate these conventions, and don't

existing stubs (e.g.@: RedBoot) are known to not check for the end of the
