Document conventions

This section describes text formatting conventions and important notice formats used in this
document.

Text formatting

The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used are as follows:

bold text

Identifies command names

Identifies keywords and operands
Identifies text to enter at the GUI or CLI

For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed

lowercase. Otherwise, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case
sensitive.
