Conventions

The following textual conventions are used in this document:

• Italic type represents book titles and emphasis.

• Monospace type represents commands and text displayed in a terminal window and the contents of configuration files, shell scripts, and source code files.

• Monospace bold type represents user inputs and significant changes to commandline output, terminal displays, or file contents. It may also be used to emphasize particularly relevant parts of a file or display.

• Monospace bold oblique type represents variable inputs and outputs in a terminal display or file.

• Monospace oblique type represents other variables in a terminal display or file.

• ... (three-dot ellipsis marks) represent file contents or command output that is not relevant to the example and has thus been omitted for brevity or clarity.

• \ (a backslash) at the end of a line in examples escapes the line break so that the following line is part of the same command.

• [ - ] (brackets surrounding values separated by a hyphen) delimit value ranges.

• [ ] (brackets) in command syntax descriptions indicate optional parameters.

• root@solaris:~# and [hostname]:root@solaris:~# represent Solaris command shell prompts.

• [root@linux ~]#  represents Linux command shell prompts.
