Appendix C: Syntactical Conventions for command samples
Angle bracketed text indicates a substitution for a literal value. Example: ssh < host name > would indicate to substitute the
host name of the target Ceph node when executing ssh commands.
The use of single quotes with an OS command indicates shorthand for a command. Example: ‘ceph –s’. This does not
typically attempt to indicate permissions or context as it’s used when that’s assumed known, or reference to the command
is all the needed context (i.e. a command might require a preceding ‘sudo’).
A breakout of detailed example OS text (command line or configuration file) is specified in a box.
Sample Text
A callout for optional OS text (something that is important to know but may not apply to all users) is specified in a colored
box.
