Documentation conventions

Following are all the special characters and typographical conventions used in this manual:

Convention

Meaning

Monospace text

Represents text that appears on your computer’s screen, or that could

 

appear on your computer’s screen.

Boldface mono-

Represents characters that you enter exactly as shown (unless the char-

space text

acters are also in italics—see Italics, below). If you could enter

 

the characters but are not specifically instructed to, they do not appear

 

in boldface.

Italics

Represent variable information. Do not enter the words themselves in

 

the command. Enter the information they represent. In ordinary text,

 

italics are used for titles of publications, for some terms that would

 

otherwise be in quotation marks, and to show emphasis.

[ ]

Square brackets indicate an optional argument you might add to a

 

command. To include such an argument, type only the information

 

inside the brackets. Do not type the brackets unless they appear in bold

 

type.

Separates command choices that are mutually exclusive.

>

Points to the next level in the path to a parameter or menu item. The

 

item that follows the angle bracket is one of the options that appears

 

when you select the item that precedes the angle bracket.

Key1-Key2

Represents a combination keystroke. To enter a combination key-

 

stroke, press the first key and hold it down while you press one or

 

more other keys. Release all the keys at the same time. (For example,

 

Ctrl-H means hold down the Control key and press the H key.)

Press Enter

Means press the Enter, or Return, key or its equivalent on your com-

 

puter.
