system.

Text Conventions

The following conventions are used in this manual. Computer-generated text is shown in
typewriter font. Examples of computer-generated text are: program output (such as the
screen display during the software installation procedure), commands, directory names, file
names, variables, prompts, and sections of program code.

Computer-generated text example

Commands to be entered by the user are printed in

bold Courier

type. For example:

cd /usr/tmp

Pressing the return key (

¤

Return

) at the end of the command line entry is assumed,

when not explicitly shown. For example:

/bin/su

is the same as:

/bin/su

¤

Return

Required user input, when mixed with program output, is printed in

bold Courier

type.

References to UNIX programs and manual page entries follow the standard UNIX
conventions.

When a user command, system prompt, or system response is too long to fit on a single line,
it will be shown as

Do you want the new kernel moved into

\vmunix?[y]

with a backslash at either the beginning of the continued line or at the end of the previous
line.
