alias -- Command Set an alias alias [name[=value ...]] The command alias is used by the Korn shell ksh to set or display an alias. When called without an argument, alias lists all aliases that have been set so far. When called with a name argument alone, it lists alias of name, assuming one has been set. When called with one or more arguments of the form name=value, it established name as an alias for the command value. For example, the command alias FOO="echo bar" establishes the string FOO as an alias for the command echo bar. Thereafter, when you type FOO on the shell's command line, it will execute the command echo bar and so echo the string bar on your terminal. The Korn shell sets a number of aliases by default. See the Lexicon entry for ksh for a list of these aliases and their settings. See Also commands, ksh, unalias
