1.2. Pull-quote Conventions

Terminal output and source code listings are set off visually from the surrounding text.

Output sent to a terminal is set in m ono-spaced rom an and presented thus:

books Desktop docum entation drafts mss photos stuff svn

books_tests Desktop1 downloads images notes scripts svgs

Source-code listings are also set in m ono-spaced roman but add syntax highlighting as follows:

static int kvm _vm_ioctl_deassign_device(struct kvm *kvm,

struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev *assigned_dev)

{

int r = 0;

struct kvm_assigned_dev_kernel *m atch;

mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);

match = kvm _find_assigned_dev(&kvm->arch.assigned_dev_head,

assigned_dev->assigned_dev_id);

if (!match) {

printk(KERN_INFO "%s: device hasn't been assigned before, "

"so cannot be deassigned\n", __func__);

r = -EINVAL;

goto out;

}

kvm_deassign_device(kvm, match);

kvm_free_assigned_device(kvm, match);

out:

mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);

return r;

}

1.3. Notes and Warnings

Finally, we use three visual styles to draw attention to information that might otherwise be overlooked.

Note

Notes are tips, shortcuts or alternative approaches to the task at hand. Ignoring a note should

have no negative consequences, but you might miss out on a trick that makes your life easier.

Important

Important boxes detail things that are easily missed: configuration changes that only apply to the

current session, or services that need restarting before an update will apply. Ignoring a box

labeled 'Important' will not cause data loss but may cause irritation and frustration.
