Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Log in to the NSX manager with the username admin and the password that was set during deployment time."

A block of code is set as follows:

acl is_foo hdr_dom(host) -i foo
acl is_bar hdr_dom(host) -i bar
use_backend pool_1 if is_foo
use_backend pool_2 if is_bar

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

[root@host:~] esxcli softwarev vib list | grep esx

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "You will see the Deploy OVF Template screen."
