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: “To ensure the service runs even when the $USER
is not logged in, we’ll need to use linger
.”
A block of code is set as follows:
# we will use these registries only [registries.search] registries = ['registry.redhat.io','quay.io']
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ systemctl –user start myapplication.service $ systemctl –user enable myapplication.service
When we wish to draw your attention to a command-line input or output in a set of steps, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
- Run a test scan.
$ oscap-ssh <username>@<hostname> <port> oval eval --report <scan-report.html> <path to rhel-9.oval.xml>
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Go to Applications, then select SCAP Workbench.”
