4. Conventions Used in This Guide
The following conventions are used in this guide:
Monospaced font is used for any text that appears on the computer screen, commands that the user inputs, filenames, functions, and examples. For example:
cd /var/lib/rhpki-ca/
Italics are used for emphasis, variables, book titles, glossary terms, and when a phrase is first used. For example:
This control depends on the access permissions the super user has set for the user.
Square brackets ([]) enclose commands that are optional. For example:
PrettyPrintCert input_file [output_file]
input_file specifies the path to the file that contains the base-64 encoded certificate. output_file specifies the path to the file to write the certificate. This argument is optional; if an output file is not specified, the certificate information is written to the standard output.
A forward slash (/) is used to separate directories in a path. For example:
Almost all command-line utilities are in the /usr/bin directory.
Note and Caution boxes indicate important information to be considered before performing tasks.
A note contains information that may be of interest.
A caution signals a potential risk of losing data, damaging software or hardware, or otherwise disrupting system performance.
