Additional information
The following sections describe the notices and highlighting conventions used in the
NAS Gateway 500 library, and also an explanation of the importance of
capitalization when entering commands.
Notices and highlighting
The publications in the NAS Gateway 500 library contain certain notices that relate
to a specific topic. The caution and danger notices also appear in the multilingual
Safety Information on the documentation CD-ROM that came with the product.
Each notice is numbered for easy reference to the corresponding notices in the
Safety Information.
The following list also includes highlighting conventions used throughout the library.
Term
Notes
Attention
Caution
Danger
Bold

Case sensitivity
Everything in UNIX file systems is case-sensitive, which means that it distinguishes
between uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, you can use the ls
command to list files. If you type LS, the system responds that the command is "not
found". Likewise, FILEA, FiLea, and filea are three distinct file names, even if they
reside in the same directory. To avoid causing undesirable actions to be performed,
always ensure that you use the correct case.
Case-sensitive file names on UNIX can also cause problems for personal computer
clients running Windows operating systems because these operating systems
normally treat file names as caseless. UNIX file names that differ only in case
would be perceived as the same file name from a PC client.

Identifies commands, subroutines, keywords, files, structures,
