In this book, you will find a number of text styles 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: "We used the command Get-VM to retrieve a list of running VMs in the vCenter Server instance."

A block of code is set as follows:

Get-VM | Select-Object Name,NumCPU,MemoryMB,PowerState,Host | Export-CSV VMinfo.csv -NoTypeInformation

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

ppm install XML-LibXML

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Right-click on the host once again and select the All vCenter Actions | Remove from Inventory option"
