The target audience of this manual includes Dell One Identity Virtual Directory Server (VDS) administrators and anyone wanting to learn how to use the graphical user interface (GUI) of the product.
The following typographical conventions are used throughout this manual to indicate:
Italic is used in text when referring to variables and function names that are contained in the example routines or standard libraries. If a function name is followed by a number in parentheses, this refers the reader to that section in the relevant on-line Unix manual pages. When referring to Unix manuals we use the System V and Solaris convention. The BSD convention is similar in major section numbering. Section 1 refers to user commands, section 1m (section 8 for BSD) refers to system administration commands (i.e., /sbin), section 2 refers to system calls, and section 3 refers to API calls. For example, more information on printf(3c) can be found by typing
man printf
at the shell command prompt and referring to section 3c. Italics are also used when referring to the names of directives or the DirectoryScript executables themselves.
is used generally throughout for emphasis, and also to highlight significant new terms when they first appear in the text
Bold is used to refer to reserved words in the language. Reserved words are keywords in the DirectoryScript language and cannot be used as variable names or function names.
Constant width is used in the text and in examples to show any literal code. It is also used to show commands and their required command-line switches. Data values in code examples are represented by constant width in quotes (""), which are not part of the value.
Whenever C or C language is mentioned in this book, we mean ANSI C.
We will use the abbreviation DS Proxy / VDS to represent DirectoryScript Proxy and Dell One Identity Virtual Directory Server respectively.
