9.1.10 '@command'{COMMAND-NAME}
-------------------------------

Use the '@command' command to indicate command names, such as 'ls' or
'cc'.

  '@command' is equivalent to '@code' in its effects.  For example:

     The command @command{ls} lists directory contents.
produces
     The command 'ls' lists directory contents.

  You should write the name of a program in the ordinary text font,
rather than using '@command', if you regard it as a new English word,
such as 'Emacs' or 'Bison'.

  When writing an entire shell command invocation, as in 'ls -l', you
should use either '@samp' or '@code' at your discretion.
