Conventions Used in This Book

Throughout this book, I have used the following typographic conventions:

Constant width

Indicates a language construct such as a statement, a constant, an attribute, or an expression. Interface names and lines of code appear in constant width, as do function and method prototypes.

Constant width bold

Indicates a highlighted section of code to be brought to the reader’s attention.

Italic

Represents intrinsic and application-defined functions, the names of system elements such as directories and files, and Internet resources such as web documents. New terms are also italicized when they are first introduced.

Constant width italic

Indicates replaceable parameter names in prototypes, command syntax, or body text, and indicates variable and parameter names in body text.
