Conventions Used in This Manual

Monospaced Font

Monospaced font is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for file names, distinguished names, functions, and examples.

Bold Monospaced Font

Bold monospaced font is used to represent text within a code example that you should type. For example, you might see something like this:

./setup

In this example, ./setup is what you would type from the command line and the rest is what would appear as a result.

Italicized Font

Italicized font is used to represent text that you enter using information that is unique to your installation (for example, variables). It is used for server paths and names and account IDs.

For example, this document uses URLs such as:

http://webserver:webserverport

When you are entering your actual information, you substitute your actual web server name and web server port where the words webserver and webserverport appear italicized. For example, if your web server name is i-zed, and the web server port is 9980, then the actual URL you would enter is:

http://i-zed:9980

Square or Straight Brackets

Square (or straight) brackets [] are used to enclose optional parameters. For example, in this document you will see the usage for the setup command described as follows:

./setup [options] [argument]

It is possible to run the setup command by itself as follows to start the Instant Messaging installation:

./setup

However, the presence of [options] and [arguments] indicates that there are additional optional parameters that may be added to the setup command. For example, you could use setup command with the -nodisplay option to do a command-line install:

./setup -nodisplay

Command-Line Prompts

Command-line prompts (for example, % for a C-Shell, or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not displayed in the examples. Depending on which operating system environment you are using, you will see a variety of different command-line prompts. However, you should enter the command as it appears in the document unless specifically noted otherwise.
