Variables

Sometimes, a command input is specific to the user’s system, such as system devices or username. Following conventions are to be used:

username, for example in path command /home/username
sdX for devices

Please note that:

Using such convention usually will require a note like: "Substitute the actual device/username (sda, sdb, hda, etc) in the place of sdX".
If multiple devices are discussed use the convention sdX, sdY, sdZ. If more than three devices need to be addressed. just begin with device sdN where is N is the last N letters of the alphabet.
