The following typographical conventions are used within
in this manual:
</p>
<p>
Structure names are represented in
<code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are
<code class="methodname">method names</code>. For example:
"<code class="methodname">DB->open()</code> is a method on
a <code class="classname">DB</code> handle."
</p>
<p>
Variable or non-literal text is presented in
<span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
<span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span> directory."
</p>
<p>
Program examples are displayed in a
<code class="classname">monospaced font</code> on a shaded
background. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">/* File: gettingstarted_common.h */
typedef struct stock_dbs {
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database files */
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
} STOCK_DBS; </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
