Fonts are used to distinguish information of different types as
described in the following table.
Information Type |
Example |
Notes |
Commands to be entered |
% qef Install # comments |
The "%" sign indicates that this command is to the shell.
|
Command output |
set ConfigName tut3 |
Often following the command. |
Meta-variables |
<machine>@<date> |
Some information is abstracted for brevity.
Cases where literal '<' or '>' are meant should be self-evident
(e.g., C header files) or will be indicated.
|
Installation directory for the Q-Tree |
<qtree>, $QTREE, or <Q> |
Typically /usr/qtree or /usr/local/qtree. |
File and pathnames in text |
/usr/qtree, /etc/passwd |
|
QEF utilities |
qef, sls |
Within a web browser, such as Netscape, these terms are links
to the x-qef description of the tool.
|
Other utilities |
make, ls, cd |
|
The User's home directory |
 |
Any instance, other than those used in a shell command,
will be replaced by the literal directory path. See note below.
|
Line split to fit |
output line exceeds
possible width.
|
Sometimes example output lines exceed the width of the
page, so lines are split to allow text to fit.
|
Section Links |
|
Some or all of these images will appear at the right top and
bottom corners of the web pages.
They are links to the QEF home page, the guide's Table of Contents,
the previous section, the top and bottom of the current page, and
the next section respectively.
|
Note: | The use of tilde (` ') within this document to represent
the user's home directory and as the qsg post fix operator
presents problems within Netscape
(it thinks is zero width character).
As such all tildes in this documentation are actually graphic images
which can lead to some strange page and line breaks in the middle
of a word. Please address any complaints to AOL. |
