Typographic Conventions
This guide uses the following typographic conventions:
Boldface Words defined for the first time appear in boldface. For
example, an argument is the part of a command line that
indicates what file or directory the command is to act on.
Computer
Computer font indicates literal items displayed by the
computer. For example:
file not found
User input
Bold, computer text indicates literal items that you type. For
example:
cd
Italics Manual titles and emphasized words appear in italics, as do
values that you supply.
For example, in the command below you would substitute an
actual directory name (such as
mydir
) for directory_name.
cd
directory_name
Enter
Text in a bold, sans serif font denotes a keyboard key. A
notation like
CTRL
+
Q
indicates that you should hold the
control key down, then press
Q
.
Softkey Select an on-screen item or a corresponding softkey. For
example,
Help
shown at the bottom left side of the screen means that
pressing the softkey corresponding to that position on the
screen (f1) will cause a help screen to be displayed.
