1.4 Typographical Conventions

This book uses the following typographical conventions:
• Slice source code appears in Lucida Sans Typewriter.
• Programming-language source code appears in Courier.
• File names appear in Courier.
• Commands appear in Courier Bold.
Occasionally, we present copy of an interactive session at a terminal. In such cases, we assume a Bourne shell (or one of its derivatives, such as ksh or bash). Output presented by the system is shown in Courier, and input is presented in Courier Bold, for example:
$ echo hello
hello
Slice and the various programming languages often use the same identifiers. When we talk about an identifier in its generic, language-independent sense, we use Lucida Sans Typewriter. When we talk about an identifier in its language-specific (for example, C++ or Java) sense, we use Courier.
