@command
{command-name}Use the @command
command to indicate command names, such as
ls
or cc
.
@command
is equivalent to @code

You should write the name of a program in the ordinary text font, rather
than using @command
, if you regard it as a new English word,
such as `Emacs' or `Bison'.
When writing an entire shell command invocation, as in ls -l
,
you should use either @samp
or @code
at your discretion.
