<title>Terminology</title>
<para>
The following terms are commonly used throughout the man pages. Terms in upper case letters
are literals used in command line arguments.
</para>
<glosslist>
<glossentry><glossterm><literal>BRANCH</literal></glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Branch name. Part of a <glossterm><literal>REF</literal></glossterm>.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry><glossterm><literal>CHECKSUM</literal></glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
A SHA256 hash of a object stored in the OSTree repository. This can be a content,
a dirtree, a dirmeta or a commit object. If the SHA256 hash of a commit object is
meant, the term <glossterm><literal>COMMIT</literal></glossterm> is used.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry><glossterm><literal>COMMIT</literal></glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
A SHA256 hash of a commit object.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry><glossterm><literal>REF</literal></glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
A reference to a particular commit. References are text files stored in
<filename>refs/</filename> that name (refer to) a particular commit. A
reference can only be the branch name part, in which case a local reference
is used (e.g. <literal>mybranch/stable</literal>). If a remote branch
is referred to, the remote name followed by a colon and the branch name
needs to be used (e.g. <literal>myremote:mybranch/stable</literal>).
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry><glossterm><literal>REV</literal></glossterm> <glossterm><literal>REFSPEC</literal></glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
A specific revision, a commit. This can be anything which can be resolved to a
commit, e.g. a <glossterm><literal>REF</literal></glossterm> or a
<glossterm><literal>COMMIT</literal></glossterm>.
</para>
</glossdef>
</glossentry>
<glossentry><glossterm>SHA256</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
A cryptographic hash function used to store objects in the OSTree
repository. The hashes have a length of 256 bites and are typically
shown and passed to ostree in its 64 ASCII character long hexadecimal
representation
(e.g. 0fc70ed33cfd7d26fe99ae29afb7682ddd0e2157a4898bd8cfcdc8a03565b870).
