Preface

Certain typographical conventions are used in this document. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following examples.

• Text in this style indicates executable programs such as ecelerity.

• Text in this style is used when referring to file names. For example, "The ecelerity.conf file is used to configure Momentum."

• Text in this style is used when referring to command options. For example, "list is an option for the module command."

• Text in this style is used for emphasis.

• Text in this style is used for added emphasis.

• Text in this style indicates variable input—text that changes depending upon circumstances. For example, "For passwd enter the password you created during installation."

• Text in this style indicates user input. For example, "Install the application by issuing the command ./installer."

• Text in this style is used for literal values and variable names. For example, "A license file named license."

• Text such as the following, ‘C’, is used to indicate a literal reference to a specific character. For example, "The letter ‘C’ in CIDR stands for 'Classless'".

In some circumstances, what appears on one line on the screen or in a program listing cannot be represented on one line in some forms of the documentation. In circumstances such as this, the ‘»’ character is used. For example:

The preceding line would appear unbroken in a log file but, if left as is, it would be truncated in a PDF version of the documentation.

Where possible, Unix command-line commands are broken using the ‘\’ character, making it possible to copy and paste commands. For example:

sudo -u ecuser
/opt/msys/ecelerity/bin/ec_show -m msg-id
