The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used are as follows:

Identifies keywords and operands
Identifies text to enter at the GUI or CLI
italic text Provides emphasis
Identifies variables
Identifies paths and Internet addresses

For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed

lowercase. Otherwise, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case
sensitive.
