  alias

  NAME

    alias - list or set aliases

  SYNOPSIS

  C shell

    alias [name[wordlist]]

  Korn shell

    alias [-d | -t [-r ] | [-x] [ name[=value] ...]

  DESCRIPTION

    This command is a built-in command in the C shell and the Korn shell.

  C shell

    Without arguments, alias(1) lists all aliases and their values. When only
    name is present, alias(1) lists the value of the alias specified by name.
    When name and wordlist are both present, alias(1) assigns wordlist as the
    alias of name. The wordlist argument is command and file-name substituted.

    The name argument cannot be 'alias' or 'unalias'.

  Korn shell

    Without arguments, alias(1) lists all aliases and their values. When name
    only is present, alias(1) lists the value of the alias specified by name.
    When name and value are both present, alias(1) assigns value as the alias
    of name (see "Aliases" in ksh(1)).

  OPTIONS

    -x
        Sets the export attribute of an alias, or, if no names are given,
        lists the aliases with the export attribute (exporting an alias
        currently has no effect).

    -t
        Indicates that tracked aliases are to be listed or set (values
        specified on the command line are ignored for tracked aliases).

    -r
        Indicates that all tracked aliases are to be reset.

    -d
        Causes directory aliases, which are used in tilde (~) expansion, to be
        listed or set (see "Tilde expansion" in ksh(1)).
