Conventions Used in This Book
We use the following font and format conventions:Italic
Used for new terms where first defined, Registry values, domain
names, filenames, and commands when they appear in the body of a
paragraph exactly as a user would type them (for example, run
dir to list the files in a directory). Italic is
also used for Windows commands when they are mentioned in passing and
not as part of a command line (for example, to find more information
on nslookup, a user could consult the Windows
help system).
Bold
Used for menu names and for text appearing in windows and dialog
boxes, such as names of fields, buttons, and menu options. For
example, enter a domain name in the Server
name field and then click the OK button.
Constant width
Used for method, class, and object names. Also used for excerpts from
scripts or configuration files. For example, a snippet of Perl:
if ( -x "$ENV{systemroot}/system23/dns.exe"){
print "DNS is installed!\n";
}
Sample interactive sessions showing command-line input and
corresponding output are also shown in a constant
width font, with user-supplied input in
constant width bold:
C\> more %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
When a line of code is continued on a second line, we insert a bent
arrow to indicate it, like this:
ec4caf62-31b2-4773-bcce-7b1e31c04d25._msdcs.movie.edu. 600 IN CNAME↵
terminator.movie.edu.
