keywords or names. If white space characters occur outside of descriptions, they
are ignored.
Internal file comments
Enter comments to document import files. The import process ignores these
comments. Place comments anywhere in an import/export file, except in names
and descriptions. Enter comments by starting the line (record) with REMARK
and a comma.
Component descriptions
Descriptions of components are optional. Unlike internal file comments,
descriptions are imported. The description of a component is added as an attribute
of the component in the L5K format. Place the description within double quotes.
See this example.

Type := PERIODIC, Rate := 1000,
Priority := 10, Watchdog := 500,
