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

CodeInText: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "At the runweasel command line, type ks=usb:/ks.cfg."

A block of code is set as follows:

vmaccepteula
rootpw mypassword
install --firstdisk –overwritevmfs
keyboard English
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=vmnic0
reboot

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

esxcli system syslog config set –loghost tcp://SYSLOG_IP:514
esxcli system syslog reload

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

cd /usr/lib/vmware-sso/
openssl x509 -inform PEM -in xyzCompanySmartCardSigningCA.cer >> /usr/lib/vmware-sso/vmware-sts/conf/clienttrustCA.pem

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Under Settings, switch to General and click the Edit... button."
