We have used a few conventions in the manual in order to help keep explanations clear. Certain generic terms (such as city names) are used to consistently indicate specific things (i.e., host names) throughout the manual. The following table identifies these conventions:
Generic Term | Examples | Meaning within this Manual |
---|---|---|
City Names | london, rome, chicago | Cities indicate host names |
Organizational Group Names |
sales, marketing, engineering | Organizational groups indicate subdomain names rather than host names |
host.domain | host.domain london.software.com rome.sales.software.com |
Fully qualified domain name |
user@host.domain | user@host.domain first.lastname@host.domain jane.doe@london.software.com jane.doe@rome.sales.software.com |
E-mail address using a fully qualified domain name (i.e., host name included) |
domain | domain software.com sales.software.com | Partial domain name (i.e., host name excluded) |
user@domain | user@domain first.lastname@domain jane.doe@software.com jane.doe@sales.software.com | E-mail address using a partial domain name (i.e., host name excluded. We call this host name hiding). |
