Naming Conventions

• CamelCase is used to indicate different parts of a name.

• Modules begin uppercase.

• All exported items begin uppercase (but see RECORD fields).

• CONSTs begin uppercase.

• TYPEs begin uppercase.

• RECORD fields begin lowercase, even if exported.

• VARs begin lowercase (unless exported).

• Local PROCEDUREs begin lowercase, exported ones uppercase.

• PROCEDURE parameters begin lowercase.

• Naming exported items should take into account that they will always be referred to qualified by their module name. For example, RS232dev.Device, not RS232dev.RS232device.

• If a part of the CamelCase-ed name is an all-caps acronym, then the next part begins lowercase, such as SPIdev, to preserve the acronym.
