Conventions (GNAT User’s Guide for Native Platforms)

### 1.4 Conventions ¶

Following are examples of the typographical and graphic conventions used in this guide:

- `Functions`, `utility program names`, `standard names`, and `classes`.
- `Option flags`
- `File names`
- `Variables`
- ‘Emphasis’
- [optional information or parameters]
- Examples are described by text

      and then shown this way.

- Commands that you enter are shown as preceded by a prompt string comprising the `$` character followed by a space.
- Full file names are shown with the ‘/’ character as the directory separator; e.g., `parent-dir/subdir/myfile.adb`. If you are using GNAT on a Windows platform, please note that you should use the ‘\’ character instead.
