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, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "An init script can be added and enabled for the agent, similar to the one for the server, in order to run it as a daemon."

A block of code is set as follows:

cover => coverage
nosetests.xml

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

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

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

wget http://www.trieuvan.com/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz
tar xvfz apache-ant-1.9.3-bin.tar.gz
export ANT_HOME="~/Downloads/apache-ant-1.9.3"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin"
