|
|
|
Alias is a shellscript wrapper around the function builtin.
|
|
|
|
|
It exists for backwards compatibility with Posix
|
|
|
|
|
shells. For other uses, it is recommended to define a <a
|
|
|
|
|
href='#function'>function</a>.

Alias does not keep track of which functions have been defined using
|
|
|
|
|
alias, nor does it allow erasing of aliases.
