Book conventions
In the following chapters, we will learn many new concepts with practical examples that will require active interaction with a Linux shell environment. In the practical examples, we will use the following conventions:
- For any shell command that will be anticipated by the
$character, we will use a standard user (not root) for the Linux system. - For any shell command that will be anticipated by the
#character, we will use the root user for the Linux system. - Any output or shell command that would be too long to display in a single line for the code block will be interrupted with the
\character, and then it will continue to a new line.
