This section of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise the VINO user environment. Other commands may be found under "applications", and those which are of interest chiefly or exclusively to system administrators may be found under "administrator reference".
All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if the command completed normally. The possible exit values for each command differ and are documented specifically where relevant. In general, an exit status of 0 indicates successful completion and any nonzero status indicates an error of some sort.
