COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE CONVENTIONS
Typeface conventions:
• Bold Courier type indicates a command to be typed exactly as shown.
• Unbolded Courier type indicates onscreen messages or prompts.
• <Angle brackets> indicate a parameter for which you need to provide an appropriate
value.
• [Square brackets] indicate an optional parameter.
• [<Angle brackets within square brackets>] indicate an optional
parameter that, should you opt to include it, requires you to provide an appropriate value.
• (Multiple|Values) in parenthesis separated by a vertical line indicate that you must
select one of the values for that parameter. However, parentheses may also contain
parameters for which you need to provide a value. For example, (all|<port>)
indicates that you can type all to view all ports or type a port number to view a specific
port.
• Some optional parameters contain both a command and a parameter for which you need to
select from a finite set of values. For example, [-admin (up|down)] requires you to
type -admin up or -admin down, should you choose to include the parameter.
Optional parameters follow the required parameters in the command line, and can be
included in any order.
• Italic type indicates the format in which you type the information specified in the
procedure.
