Management Information Format (MIF) Files Reference › Common Statements › Name Statement

Name Statement

The name statement assigns a relatively short string to the definition. This name is displayed to users and must be less than 256 characters. A sample of the syntax is:

name = "name string"

In the name statement, the .MIF file provider defines the name string. However, users can edit the .MIF file and change the name. The name statement can appear only once per definition. Names are not required to be unique except for enumeration and path names, which must be unique among other enum (and path) names in a component.
