alias -- display or modify command aliases
|
|
|
|
syntax: alias [-s] [-l] [-r] <alias-name> <expansion>
|
|
|
|
ex: alias
|
|
alias foo "cat -am"
|
|
alias -r foo
|
|
alias -s
|
|
alias -l
|
|
|
|
With no parameters, displays a list of all current aliases.
|
|
These are stored in the file %aliases (which you can edit
|
|
with a text editor if you want).
|
|
|
|
Given two strings, 'alias' creates a new alias so that the
|
|
first string, when used as a command, expands into the second
|
|
string. If there are blanks in the second string, you need
|
|
to put quotation marks around it. If the named alias already
|
|
exists, 'alias' asks for permission to replace it.
|
|
|
|
Given -r and a single string, 'alias' removes an existing
|
|
alias.
|
|
|
|
Creating or removing an alias does not automatically save it to
|
|
disk. To save your aliases to %aliases, use 'alias -s'. (Note
|
|
that if you create or remove an alias and use -s in the same
|
|
command, the saving happens -after- any changes to your aliases.)
|
|
|
|
To re-load your aliases from %aliases, use 'alias -l'. Davex
|
|
automatically loads aliases from there, so this is not normally
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
See Davex.Doc for an explanation of aliases and a description
|
|
of the pre-made aliases provided.
