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: "To limit pkg search to only search package names, we must use a modifier of pkg.fmri:."

A block of code is set as follows:

    <publisher name="solaris">
         <origin name="http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release"/>
    </publisher>

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

$ pkg info gzip|grep FMRI

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: "Don't choose Automatically for your networking type choice, unless you are installing to a laptop or workstation."
