COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE CONVENTIONS
Typeface conventions:
•Bold Courier type indicates a command to be typed exactly as shown.
•Unbolded Courier type indicates onscreen messages or prompts.
•<Angle brackets> indicate a parameter for which you need to provide an appropriate
value.
•[Square brackets] indicate an optional parameter.
•[<Angle brackets within square brackets>] indicate an optional
parameter that, should you opt to include it, requires you to provide an appropriate value.
•(Multiple|Values) in parenthesis separated by a vertical line in dicate that you must
select one of the values for that parameter. However, parentheses may also contain
parameters for which you need to provide a value. For example, (all|<port>)
indicates that you can type all to view all ports or type a port number to view a specific
port.
•Some optional parameters contain both a command and a parameter for which you need to
select from a finite set of values. For example, [-admin (up|down)] requires you to
type -admin up or -admin down, should you choose to include the parameter.
Optional parameters follow the required parameters in the command line, and can be
included in any order.
•Italic type indicates the format in which you type the information specified in the
procedure.
