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: " Navigate to the Disk1 folder under c:\temp and double-click on setup.exe. A new window pops up."

A block of code is set as follows:

groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmadmin oracle
passwd oracle

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

# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start 

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: "Click on the Install button to continue installing Oracle Database XE".
