Code conventions¶
Follow these guidelines:
Use “–option ARGUMENT”
In technical publications, use
--option ARGUMENT
even if the CLI supports both--option ARGUMENT
and--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
PASSWORD
parameter:Replace ``PASSWORD`` with a suitable password.
