Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Now, the include directives for Glad will work in our code.”

A block of code is set as follows:

  public:
    bool init(unsigned int width, unsigned int height);
    bool resize(unsigned int newWidth, unsigned int newHeight);
    void bind();
    void unbind();
    void drawToScreen();

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-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
> irm get.scoop.sh | iex

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

pacman –S base-devel

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Right-click the CMakeLists.txt file and choose Build.”
