Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "The OC4J log file can also be investigated and can be located at /opt/oc4j/dump-timestamp.dmp."

A block of code is set as follows:

[default]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

# mkdir mnt-pt
# mount -o loop,ro OracleVM-Manager-2.1.2.iso mnt-pt

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "When the Installation screen appears, choose Next".
