\subsection alias-description Description
`alias` is a simple wrapper for the `function` builtin, which creates a function wrapping a command. It has similar syntax to POSIX sh `alias`. For other uses, it is recommended to define a <a href='#function'>function</a>.

`fish` marks functions that have been created by `alias` by including the command used to craete them in the function description. You can list alias-created functions by running `alias` without arguments. They must be erased using `functions -e`.

- `NAME` is the name of the alias
- `DEFINITION` is the actual command to execute. The string `$argv` will be appended.
You cannot create an alias to a function with the same name.
Note that spaces need to be escaped in the call to alias just like in the commandline _even inside the quotes_.
