Conventions Used in This Document
Commands and command options are printed in bold type; for example,
The help command displays ....
Although commands and environment variables are not case sensitive
(that is, Boot and BOOt are both valid), commands and command options
are shown in lowercase type.
When a command may be abbreviated, the portion that may be omitted is
shown in brackets: -flags or -fl[ags]. Brackets also indicate an element is
optional.
Braces ({}) indicate a choice from the enclosed list.
Angle brackets (<>) indicate that the enclosed text is not a literal depiction
of the element but instead a reference to the kind of item that can appear
in that position.
Terminology. Unless specified otherwise, the use of "system" refers to
either a DEC 7000 AXP or VAX 7000 system. The DEC 7000 AXP systems
use the Alpha AXP architecture. References in text use DEC 7000 to refer
to DEC 7000 AXP systems.
When a discussion applies to only one system, an icon is used to highlight
that system. Otherwise, the discussion applies to both systems. Thus, the
abstract for a module that applies only to DEC 7000 systems would look
like this:
Book titles. In text, if a book is cited without a product name, that book is
part of the hardware documentation. It is listed in Table 1 along with its
order number.
Documentation Titles
Table 1 lists the books in the DEC 7000 and VAX 7000 documentation set.
