Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "This Raft ID will appear while adding a node using raft.addPeer."

A block of code is set as follows:

url = "http://127.0.0.1:9002/"
port = 9002
storage = "dir:./cnode_data/cnode2/"
socket = "./cnode_data/cnode1/constellation_node2.ipc"
othernodes = ["http://127.0.0.1:9001/"]
publickeys = ["./cnode2.pub"]
privatekeys = ["./cnode2.key"]
tls = "off"

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

git clone https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum.git
cd quorum
make all

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Now select a file, enter the owner's name, and click on Submit. ."
