a Command Conditionally in a CommandList</title><shortdesc>A structure for <codeph>conditional_information</codeph> contains

the reasons for conditional values. The software reason and hardware reason

will be defined by an enum and will have a special value. This special value

will mean that the command is unconditional on that ‘reason’. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>

<context><p>Each command struct in a resource file contains a value of <codeph>LLINK</codeph> that

is called <codeph>conditional_information</codeph>. When loading a command

list the resource file reader makes a decision based upon the value of the <codeph>conditional_information</codeph> which

can either be '0' or a nonzero value. </p> <p> Follow the steps given below

to run a command conditionally in a <codeph>comamandList</codeph>:</p></context>
