Table 1. Typographical conventions
Typeface Indicates Example
bold Commands, executable names, compiler options and pragma directives that contain lower-case letters. The xlc utility provides two basic compiler invocation commands, xlc and xlC (xlc++), along with several other compiler invocation commands to support various C/C++ language levels and compilation environments.
italics Parameters or variables whose actual names or values are to be supplied by the user. Italics are also used to introduce new terms. Make sure that you update the size parameter if you return more than the size requested.
monospace Programming keywords and library functions, compiler built-in functions, file and directory names, examples of program code, command strings, or user-defined names. If one or two cases of a switch statement are typically executed much more frequently than other cases, break out those cases by handling them separately before the switch statement.
