Notation Conventions

Warnings, Cautions, Notices, and Notes

Warnings, cautions, notices, and notes provide special information and have the following meanings:

Warning: A warning indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Avertissement: Un avertissement indique une situation dangereuse qui, si pas évitée, pourrait entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.

Caution: A caution indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

Mise En Garde: Une mise en garde indique une situation dangereuse qui, si pas évitée, pourrait entraîner des blessures mineures ou modérées.

Notice: A notice indicates information that, if not acted on, could result in damage to a system, hardware device, program, or data, but does not present a health or safety hazard.

Note: A note provides important information about the operation of an ftServer system or related equipment or software.

Typographical Conventions

Italics introduces or defines new terms. For example:

The master disk is the name of the member disk from which the module was booted.

Boldface emphasizes words in text. For example:

Monospace represents text that would appear on your terminal's screen (such as commands, subroutines, code fragments, and names of files and directories). For example:

change_current_dir (master_disk)>system>doc

Monospace italic represents terms that are to be replaced by literal values. In the following example, the user must replace the monospace-italic term with a literal value.

list_users -module module_name

Monospace bold represents user input in examples and figures that contain both user input and system output (which appears in monospace). For example:

display_access_list system_default 

%dev#m1>system>acl>system_default

w  *.*
