Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The commands used in the next steps assume that your SD card is recognized as /dev/mmcblk0."

A block of code is set as follows:

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ sudo cp interfaces interfaces.backup
