In this workbook, I will use the following conventions.
Terminal output
In the following example, I have opened an operating system terminal, and entered the command pwd to show the current directory (the output is /home/devel), then the command mkdir test to create a directory (there is no output), and finally ls to show that the directory has been created (the output is test):
$ pwd
/home/devel
$ mkdir test
$ ls
test
$In other words, I use $ to denote the command prompt. [1]
If there is a lot of output, I may abbreviate using an elipsis (…):
$ echo $PATH
...
$ pwd
/home/devel
$Admonitions
