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 nslookup tests are combined."

A block of code is set as follows:

;; Query time: 0 msec
;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)
;; WHEN: Thu Nov 27 07:00:37 2008
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 103

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

> set q=srv > _sip._tcp.xyzcompany.com
Server: sipx.xyzcompany.com
Address: 172.16.1.2

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

nslookup >set q=srv 

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: "Under Quick Links on the right side of the page is an Add Line hyperlink."
