understanding syntax of legal routings

I'm curious whether somebody can translate the legal routing syntax for
me. Here's a sample legal routing from SFO-MSP:

====

Code:

ROUTING    2 *** BETWEEN DTT AND HOU MUST BE VIA CHI ***
           2 FROM-TO  SFO-UA-MSP*
                FROM  SFO-UA-OAK-UA-SJC-UA-SMF-UA-
                      OAK-UA-SLC/LAS/PHX-UA-
             OR FROM  SFO-UA-SJC-UA-OAK-UA-SMF-UA-
                      PDX-UA-SEA-UA-PDX-UA-GEG-UA-
             OR FROM  SFO-UA-OAK-UA-
             OR FROM  SFO-UA-OAK/SJC-UA-SMF-UA-RNO-
                      UA-SLC/LAS/PHX-UA-
             OR FROM  SFO-UA-OAK-UA-SJC-UA-OAK-UA-
                      SMF-UA-FAT-UA-BFL/BUR-UA-SNA-UA-
             OR FROM  SFO-UA-OAK-UA-SJC-UA-OAK-UA-
                      SMF-UA-RNO-UA-SLC-UA-
             OR FROM  SFO-UA-OAK-UA-SJC-UA-OAK-UA-
                      SMF-UA-SNA-UA-LAX-UA-ONT-UA-LAX-UA-PSP-
                      UA-SAN/LAS/PHX-UA-

=====
There might be some redundancies here, but if somebody could explain what
the slashes and hyphens mean and the "FROM" and "VIA" (which doesn't appear
in this example, but is seen elsewhere), I would be grateful.

Thanks.
