Text formatting
The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used in this document are as follows:
bold text Identifies command names
Identifies GUI elements
Identifies keywords and operands
Identifies text to enter at the GUI or CLI
italic text Provides emphasis
Identifies variables
Identifies paths and Internet addresses
Identifies document titles
code text Identifies CLI output

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