NAME
  alias - displays and manipulates aliases for programs

SYNOPSIS
  alias
  alias name
  alias name=value

DESCRIPTION
  `alias` allows listing and editing aliases for programs. An alias is an alternative name that can be used to start a program. A program can have multiple aliases. Aliases can also contain parameters and options to pass to the actual program. An alias can also, in turn, have aliases.

EXAMPLES
  alias
    Displays the list of all current aliases.

  alias name
    Displays the value the specified alias, i.e. what the specified alias stands for.

  alias name=value
  alias name='value with arguments'
    Sets the value of the alias with the specified name. Note that white space separates arguments to a command, thus to have an alias whose value has whitespace, quote the value

  alias name1 name2 name3=value
    You can also return the value, or set the value, of an arbitrary number of aliases.
