Code conventions¶
Follow these guidelines:
- Use “–option ARGUMENT” - In technical publications, use - --option ARGUMENTeven if the CLI supports both- --option ARGUMENTand- --option=ARGUMENT.
- Use capital letters with underscores for parameters - When you write parameters in an example command, use capital letters for the parameters, with underscore as a delimiter. For example: - $ openstack user create --project PROJECT_A --password PASSWORD USERNAME - If necessary, describe the parameters immediately after the example command block. For example, for the - PASSWORDparameter:- Replace ``PASSWORD`` with a suitable password.
