Terminology Conventions<br />

compiler option<br />

cat(1)<br />

This color indicates extensions to the <strong>Fortran</strong> 95 Standard. These<br />

extensions may or may not be implemented by other compilers that<br />

conform to the language standard.<br />

Uppercase letters indicate <strong>Fortran</strong>95/90 statements, data types,<br />

directives, and other syntax keywords. Examples of statement<br />

keywords are WRITE, INTEGER, DO, and OPEN.<br />

This italic type indicates an keyword arguments in syntax, new terms,<br />

emphasized text, or a book title. Most new terms are defined in the<br />

Glossary of the <strong>Language</strong> <strong>Reference</strong>.<br />

This courier type indicates a code example, a derived type name, or a<br />

pathname.<br />

Small capital letters indicate the names of keys and key sequences,<br />

such as CTRL+C.<br />

A plus indicates a combination of keys. For example, CTRL+E means to<br />

hold down the CTRL key while pressing the E key.<br />

Braces and vertical bars indicate a choice of items. You can usually<br />

only choose one of the items in the braces.<br />

In syntax, single square brackets indicate items that are optional. In<br />

code examples, they are used to show arrays.<br />

A horizontal ellipsis (three dots in a row) following an item indicates that<br />

the item preceding the ellipsis can be repeated. In code examples, a<br />

horizontal ellipsis means that not all of the statements are shown.<br />

An asterisk at the end of a word or name indicates it is a third-party<br />

product trademark.<br />

This term refers to Linux* options and Windows* options that can be<br />

used on the compiler command line.<br />

This format refers to an online reference page; the section number of<br />

the page is shown in parentheses. For example, a reference to<br />

cat(1) indicates that you can find the material on the cat command<br />

in Section 1 of the reference pages. To read online reference pages, use<br />

the man command. Your operating system documentation also includes<br />

reference page descriptions.<br />
