Typographical Conventions in This Manual
Italics
New Terms
This typography indicates manual names and references
to manual pages in the HP- UX Reference. Italics are
also used for symbolic items either typed by the user or
displayed by the system, as discussed below under Variable
name. Italics are occasionally used to emphasize or stress
words.
This typography is used when an important new term is
introduced.
Computer literal This typography indicates literal input to, or output from,
the computer. Type the characters in this font exactly as
they appear on the page. For example:
Variable name
findstr prog.c
>
prog.str
This typography indicates that you need to "fill in the
blank" in a command line with your own word or data.
This font is used for names of variables and symbolic
names. For example:
cat
file- name
means you type cat and substitute the appropriate
file_name to complete the command line.
This typography indicates a key on your keyboard. For
example,
(Return)
means to press the "Return" key. When
prefixed by
(Shift ), (CTRL ),
or
(Extend char ),
press both keys
simultaneously. For example:
(CTRL)-©
means you press the
(CTRL)
key and continue to hold it
while you press the
©
key.
