## Formatting the AWS CLI Examples


The AWS CLI examples in this guide are formatted for the Linux operating system. To use the samples with Microsoft Windows, you need to change the JSON formatting of the `--document` parameter, and change the line breaks from backslashes (\$1) to carets (^). For more information about JSON formatting, see [Specifying Parameter Values for the AWS Command Line Interface](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-using-param.html).
