Command syntax conventions

For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed

lettercase: for example, switchShow. In actual examples, command lettercase is often all

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

case-sensitive. Command syntax in this manual follows these conventions:

command Commands are printed in bold.

option, option Command options are printed in bold.

argument, arg Arguments.

[ ] Optional element.

variable Variables are printed in italics. In the help pages, values are underlined

enclosed in angled brackets < >.
