These are some of the typographical conventions used in this book.

  • [ Bold] Used to mark new concepts, WARNINGS, and keywords in a language.

  • [ italics] Used for emphasis in text. It is also used to indicate commands for the user to type when showing screen interaction (see below).

  • [ slanted] Used to mark meta-variables in the text, especially in representations of the command line. For example,
    ls -l foo
    where foo would ``stand for'' a filename, such as /bin/cp.

  • [ Typewriter] Used to represent screen interaction.

    Also used for code examples, whether it is ``C'' code, a shell script, or something else, and to display general files, such as configuration files. When necessary for clarity's sake, these examples or figures will be enclosed in thin boxes.

  • [[Key]] Represents a key to press. You will often see it in this form:
    Press [Enter] to continue.

  • [] A diamond in the margin, like a black diamond on a ski hill, marks ``danger'' or ``caution.'' Read paragraphs marked this way carefully.

  • [] This X in the margin indicates special instructions for users of the X Window System.
