Conventions

 < Free Open Study > 



This book uses certain typographical conventions to help convey information clearly and concisely.

Double quotes ("") are used to indicate an unusual meaning for a common word, such as "bounce."

Italics are used to introduce new terms, like injection, or simply for emphasis. Italics are also used to indicate variables, like /user/ for a user name or /concurrencylocal/ for a configuration setting.

Text that appears in a fixed-width typeface, such as qmail-send or <kayleigh@example.com>, represents a filename, command name, username, e-mail address, domain name, code sample, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

A directive to run a single command that should not produce any output looks like:

 touch .qmail 

If a command must be performed by the superuser (UID 0), the hash (#) shell prompt is used:

 # touch /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root 

If a command should be performed by a non-privileged user, the dollar sign ($) shell prompt is used:

 $ touch .qmail 

If an example mixes user input and command output, user input is printed in bold:

 $ date Sat May 5 07:06:49 EDT 2001 $ 

Note 

Examples that include output end with a line consisting solely of the shell prompt ($) to show that the output included is complete.
