There is very little consistency among all of the Documentation/ files
(hopefully there is some consistency within any one file).

I found many of:

a. using a prompt, e.g.:
	$ cat /dev/input/mouse

b. using backquotes:
	`cat /dev/input/mouse`

c. using double quotes:
	"cat /dev/input/mouse"

d. using a colon:
	type (or enter): cat /dev/input/mouse
