Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Also, if the alarm_mode is going back to false, we need to deactivate the alarm immediately."

A block of code is set as follows:

if (alarm_mode == false) {
  
    // No tone & LED off
    noTone(alarm_pin);  
    digitalWrite(led_pin, LOW);
  }

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

mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -r 640x480 -f 25" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -w /www/webcam" &

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Now, inside the parameters of the app, there are two things you need: the App key, and the App secret."
