1.2 Using the Documentation

This documentation uses the following conventions.

The heading IMPORTANT! gives essential information, while WARNING! helps you avoid problems such as damaged files or system or programming errors. For example:

IMPORTANT: {For input or output which is too long to fit on a line, the

documentation uses a backslash (\) to signify the UNIX convention for a linefeed that would not interrupt a process. The backslash is not part of the actual source code.}

This documentation uses the following conventions for commands, filenames, and other program-specific subjects.

Italicized text indicates content with emphasis, such as for first use of terminology or for subtitles of books in volume sets.
Bold text indicates content requiring extra emphasis, such as for warnings, or for keystrokes and keys on your keyboard (such as Ctrl, Del, or Enter ) or menu choices have special type. Ctrl keys and Meta keys are often indicated in the text by C- and M-, respectively; Meta (or M- ) indicates the diamond-shaped key.
Bold italicized text indicates content requiring additional emphasis, such as for very important instructions as well as for titles of volumes of book sets.
Symbols are usually self-explanatory or in common use, such as math characters. With menus, for instance, the arrow symbol (=>{}) indicates sub-menus to use, such as Tools => To File.
Typewriter-text indicates content that is an example of a program's output, such as a command line prompt (see the % prompt and the output after the gcc -print-search-dirs command in example @ref{Example {User,, {User} Input}).
Typewriter-text in italics indicates content that is an example of input that you substitute. For instance, to remove filename from a directory, type rm filename, replacing filename with an actual file name.
Typewriter-text in bold italics indicates content that is an example of on-screen input. See example User Input.

Example User Input
% gcc -print-search-dirs installation problem, cannot exec cpp: No such file or directory
Italics indicates content that needs to be substuted.
