The .sm listing below is a skeleton with no states or transitions defined. It contains only the following features:

• A verbatim code section which is copied verbatim into the generated source code file. In this case the verbatim code is the boilerplate copyright comments. This section is delimited by the %{ %} pair.
• The %class keyword which specifies the application class to which this FSM is associated: Task.
• The %package keyword which specifies to which class package this FSM belongs. This is the same package as the Task class.
• The %fsmclass keyword specifies the generated finite state machine class name. If %fsmclass is not specified, then the finite state machine class name would default to TaskContext. This keyword is not required.
• The %fsmfile keyword specifies the generated finite state machine class file name. The appropriate suffix for the given programming language is appended to this file name to form the complete file name. This suffix may be changed from its default using the -suffix and -hsuffix command line parameters. See this table for the default file name and suffix settings for each supported target language.
• The %access keyword is used to specify the generated class' accessibility level (this works only when generating Java and C# code). In this case the FSM can only be accessed within the com.acme.supercron package.
• The %start keyword specifies the FSM's start state. For the Task FSM it is the Suspended state.
• The %map keyword is the FSM's name.

Name the source code file TaskFSM.sm because both the %fsmclass and %fsmfile directives specify the finite state machine class name as TaskFSM. The .sm suffix is required.

(Note: the %fsmclass directive was added to SMC version 6.0.1 and %fsmfile was added to version 6.6.0.)
