This book uses
the Windows convention for environment variables and directory notation.
When using the UNIX, Linux, and OS/400 command line you should do the following:
- Environment variables
- First verify the correct value for the UNIX, Linux, or OS/400 variable name, as many variables in
different platforms that perform the same task have different names (for example,
%TEMP% in Windows is equivalent to $tmp in UNIX and Linux). Then replace %Windows_variable% with $UNIX_variable
- File and directory paths
- Replace each backslash ( \ ) with a forward slash
( / ).
Note:
If you are using the bash shell on a Windows system,
you can use the UNIX conventions.
