.. warning:: Critical information about the risk of data loss or security
issues.
Command prompts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: console
$ command
Any user, including the ``root`` user, can run commands that are
prefixed with the ``$`` prompt.
.. code-block:: console

The ``root`` user must run commands that are prefixed with the ``#``
prompt. You can also prefix these commands with the :command:`sudo`
command, if available, to run them.
