6.6 Aliases
===========
"Aliases" allow a string to be substituted for a word when it is used as
the first word of a simple command. The shell maintains a list of
aliases that may be set and unset with the 'alias' and 'unalias' builtin
commands.
"Aliases" allow a string to be substituted for a word that is in a
position in the input where it can be the first word of a simple
command. Aliases have names and corresponding values that are set and
unset using the 'alias' and 'unalias' builtin commands (*note Shell
Builtin Commands::).
The first word of each simple command, if unquoted, is checked to see
if it has an alias. If so, that word is replaced by the text of the
alias. The characters '/', '$', '`', '=' and any of the shell
metacharacters or quoting characters listed above may not appear in an
alias name. The replacement text may contain any valid shell input,
including shell metacharacters. The first word of the replacement text
is tested for aliases, but a word that is identical to an alias being
expanded is not expanded a second time. This means that one may alias
'ls' to '"ls -F"', for instance, and Bash does not try to recursively
expand the replacement text. If the last character of the alias value
is a 'blank', then the next command word following the alias is also
checked for alias expansion.
If the shell reads an unquoted word in the right position, it checks
the word to see if it matches an alias name. If it matches, the shell
replaces the word with the alias value, and reads that value as if it
had been read instead of the word. The shell doesn't look at any
characters following the word before attempting alias substitution.
The characters '/', '$', '`', '=' and any of the shell metacharacters
or quoting characters listed above may not appear in an alias name. The
replacement text may contain any valid shell input, including shell
metacharacters. The first word of the replacement text is tested for
aliases, but a word that is identical to an alias being expanded is not
expanded a second time. This means that one may alias 'ls' to '"ls
-F"', for instance, and Bash does not try to recursively expand the
replacement text.
If the last character of the alias value is a 'blank', then the next
command word following the alias is also checked for alias expansion.
Aliases are created and listed with the 'alias' command, and removed
with the 'unalias' command.
There is no mechanism for using arguments in the replacement text, as
in 'csh'. If arguments are needed, use a shell function (*note Shell
Functions::).
