This manual uses the following typographic conventions:

Boldface

Words defined for the first time appear in boldface.

Computer

Computer font indicates literal items displayed by the computer. For example: file not found

User input

Bold, computer text indicates literal items that you type. For example, to change to your account's home directory, enter:

cd

Italics

Manual titles, variables in commands, and emphasized words appear in italics. For example, you would substitute an actual directory name for directory_name in this command:

cd directory_name

[ ] and |

Brackets [] enclose optional items in command syntax. The vertical bar | separates syntax items in a list of choices. For example, you can enter any one of these three items in this syntax:

ls [-a | -i | -x]

Enter

Text in this bold, sans serif font denotes keyboard keys. A notation like Ctrl-Q indicates that you should hold the Ctrl key down, then press Q.
