Introduction
Use the cat testfile command to view the contents of a file, named testfile, in the current
working directory.
file name
File names, directory names, paths, and RPM package names are represented this way. This
style indicates that a particular file or directory exists with that name on your system. Examples:
The .bashrc file in your home directory contains bash shell definitions and aliases for your own
use.
The /etc/fstab file contains information about different system devices and file systems.
Install the webalizer RPM if you want to use a Web server log file analysis program.
application
This style indicates that the program is an end-user application (as opposed to system software).
For example:
Use Mozilla to browse the Web.
key
A key on the keyboard is shown in this style. For example:
To use Tab completion to list particular files in a directory, type ls, then a character, and finally
the Tab key. Your terminal displays the list of files in the working directory that begin with that
character.
key+combination
A combination of keystrokes is represented in this way. For example:
The Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination exits your graphical session and returns you to the
graphical login screen or the console.
text found on a GUI interface
A title, word, or phrase found on a GUI interface screen or window is shown in this style. Text
shown in this style indicates a particular GUI screen or an element on a GUI screen (such as text
associated with a checkbox or field). Example:
Select the Require Password checkbox if you would like your screensaver to require a password
before stopping.
top level of a menu on a GUI screen or window
A word in this style indicates that the word is the top level of a pulldown menu. If you click on the
word on the GUI screen, the rest of the menu should appear. For example:
Under File on a GNOME terminal, the New Tab option allows you to open multiple shell prompts
in the same window.
Instructions to type in a sequence of commands from a GUI menu look like the following example:
Go to Applications (the main menu on the panel) > Programming > Emacs Text Editor to start
the Emacs text editor.
button on a GUI screen or window
This style indicates that the text can be found on a clickable button on a GUI screen. For example:
