1.3 Conventions


This manual will follow certain conventions throughout.

Whenever a variable name, command name, directory, or filename
is used in a paragraph they will appear in a mono-spaced font.

At times the reader will be instructed to enter commands at a
prompt. In this case a transcript of a sample session will be
provided where a prompt similar to one the reader might see will be
followed by the commands the reader is to enter. The entire
transcript will be in a

mono-spaced

font with the prompt in a

normal weight and the user's entries in bold.

The prompt used in a transcript varies depending on the
circumstances. The following are some common prompts and
when they are used:

prompt#

used when the user is required to have root
privileges

prompt%

used when the user is not required to have root
privileges

ok

prompt displayed when the user is in Boot PROM
mode
