Conventions Used in This Book
We use the following formatting conventions in this book:
- Bold is used for headings in the text.
- Italics are used for emphasis and to
signify the first use of a term. Italics are also used for
functions, email addresses, FTP sites,
directory and filenames, and newsgroups.
- All code and header examples are in Constant
Width.
- All numbers in file excerpts and examples are in hexadecimal
unless otherwise noted.
- All code and header examples use the following portable data types:
BYTE 8-bit unsigned data CHAR 8-bit signed data WORD 16-bit unsigned integer SHORT 16-bit signed integer DWORD 32-bit unsigned integer LONG 32-bit signed integer FLOAT 32-bit single-precision floating point number DOUBLE 64-bit double-precision floating point number All source code that we have produced is written in ANSI C. (This is relevant only if you are still using one of the older compilers.)
- All World Wide Web and FTP sites are listed
in URL format, as shown below:
protocol://site.name/
protocol://site.name/directory/
protocol://site.name/directory/file.name
