alias

Define an alias for a command. This allows an abreviated symbol to be defined for any command.

Syntax: alias [<alias_name> <definition> ]

Operands:

<alias_name> <definition>

The first operand is the name of the alias. If this contains embedded spaces then it must be enclosed in double quotes. The remaining operands are the definition of the alias. When command processing takes place, all occurences of the alias name (the first operand) will be replaced by the definition of the alias.
