The printed version of the Tru64 UNIX documentation set is color coded to
help specific audiences quickly find the books that meet their needs. (You
can order the printed documentation from Compaq.) This color coding is
reinforced with the use of an icon on the spines of books. The following list
describes this convention:
Audience Icon Color Code
General users G Blue
System and network administrators S Red
Programmers P Purple
Reference page users R Green
Device driver writers D Orange
Some books in the documentation set help meet the needs of several
audiences. For example, the information in some system books is also used
by programmers. Keep this in mind when searching for information on
specific topics.

Tru64 UNIX documentation set.
