Document conventions

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

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

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

italic text

Command syntax conventions

For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed
lettercase: for example, switchShow. In actual examples, command lettercase is often all
lowercase. Otherwise, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case
sensitive. Command syntax in this manual follows these conventions:

command

Commands are printed in bold.

--

option, option

Command options are printed in bold.

-

argument, arg

Arguments.

[ ]

Optional element.

variable

Variables are printed in italics. In the help pages, values are underlined or
enclosed in angled brackets < >.
