NOTE
Automatic page breaks in CLI command output displays are being phased out. Use the "more"
option to display command output with page breaks: command | more. Do not use the "more"
option in conjunction with help pages. Executing help command | more will display a command "no
manual entry for command" message.

Document conventions

This section describes text formatting conventions and important notices formats.

Text formatting

The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used in this document are as follows:
For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed
lettercase: for example, switchShow. In examples, command lettercase is all lowercase. If there are
exceptions, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case-sensitive.
