This manual uses the following typographic conventions: - Boldface
Words defined for the first time appear in boldface. - Computer
Computer font indicates literal items displayed by the computer.
For example: file not found - User input
Bold, computer text indicates literal items that
you type. For example, to change to your account's home directory,
enter: cd - Italics
Manual titles, variables in commands, and emphasized words
appear in italics. For example, you would substitute
an actual directory name for directory_name in this command: cd directory_name - [ ] and |
Brackets [] enclose optional items in command syntax. The vertical
bar | separates syntax items in a list of choices. For example,
you can enter any one of these three items in this syntax: ls [-a | -i | -x] - Enter
Text in this bold, sans serif font denotes keyboard keys. A notation like Ctrl-Q indicates that you should hold the Ctrl key down, then press Q.
