2. Examples and Formatting
Each of the examples used in this guide, such as file locations and commands, have certain defined conventions.
2.1. Brackets
Square brackets (
[]) are used to indicate an alternative element in a name. For example, if a tool is available in /usr/lib on 32-bit systems and in /usr/lib64 on 64-bit systems, then the tool location may be represented as /usr/lib[64].
2.2. Client Tool Information
The tools for IPA are located in the
/usr/bin and the /usr/sbin directories.
The LDAP tools used to edit the IPA directory services, such as
ldapmodify and ldapsearch, are from OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP tools use SASL connections by default. To perform a simple bind using a username and password, use the -x argument to disable SASL.
2.3. Text Formatting and Styles
Certain words are represented in different fonts, styles, and weights. Different character formatting is used to indicate the function or purpose of the phrase being highlighted.
| Formatting Style | Purpose |
|---|---|
Monospace with a background | This type of formatting is used for anything entered or returned in a command prompt. |
| Italicized text | Any text which is italicized is a variable, such as instance_name or hostname. Occasionally, this is also used to emphasize a new term or other phrase. |
| Bolded text | Most phrases which are in bold are application names, such as Cygwin, or are fields or options in a user interface, such as a User Name Here: field or button. This can also indicate a file, package, or directory name, such as /usr/sbin. |
Other formatting styles draw attention to important text.
