Keywords are not case sensitive. All values are strings, or strings that represent integers. An integer keyword can have a fixed numeric range of legal values. A string keyword can support a fixed set of legal values or accept any string.
There are eight different keyword types. The type of a particular keyword can be determined by retrieving its Type qualifier. For more information, refer to Keyword qualifiers. The following table describes each keyword type:
