Shell Prompts in Command Examples
Command line examples included in this document assume you use C shell (csh) or TENEX C shell (tcsh). Wherever a command is able
to be issued by a user, this document provides a dollar sign ($) prompt. When a command is meant to be issued as root, this
document provides a hash mark (#).
When you follow the instructions in this document, type the double-quotes or single quotes as displayed. The root path typically
includes /bin, /abin, /usr/bin, or usr/sbin directories. The instructions using commands from these directories show the
commands in these directories without absolute path names. Instructions which use commands in other directories show the
absolute paths in examples.
