Conventions Used in This BookThe guide uses several typographical conventions to represent types of information presented.
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:
./pssetup
*******************************************************************

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

An 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.
Square or Straight Brackets

dpadmin list|modify|add|remove [command-specific options]
The presence of [command-specific] indicates that optional parameters can be added to the dpadmin command.
Command-Line Prompts
Command-line prompts (for example, % for a C-Shell, or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not displayed in examples. Depending on which operating system environment you are using, you will see a variety of different command-line prompts.
