This guide uses the following highlighting conventions:
- Bold
- Identifies commands, keywords, file, directory, and path names,
environment variables, executable names, and other items whose names are
predefined by the system.
- Italics
- Identify parameters whose actual names or values are to be supplied by the
programmer. Italics are also used for the first mention of
new terms.
- Monospace
- Identifies examples of program code.
Examples are intended to be instructional and do not attempt to minimize
run time, conserve storage, or check for errors. The examples do not
demonstrate all of the possible uses of language constructs. Some
examples are only code fragments and will not compile without additional
code.
