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

command from the User Mode Linux (UML) project."
A block of code is set as follows:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { printf ("Hello, world!\n"); return 0; }
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ sudo tunctl -u $(whoami) -t tap0
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Click Flash from Etcher to write the image."
