alias

Define command aliases for the action

Description:

By default a command with the same name as the action will be defined to invoke each action and, if a prefix is defined, a command name with the given prefix will also be defined.

The alias command allows a list of additional command names to be defined to invoke the action. The list of aliases may be a list of simple command names or names of the form:

com(mand)

where the part before the parentheses is the minimum abbreviation. (Currently this only applies for ICL.)

If a prefix is defined, prefixed command names will also be defined for all aliases.

Invocation

alias { alias_list }

Arguments

alias_list
A list of additional command names.

Examples:

alias { acto(ne) act1 }

Defines acto, acton and act1 as aliases for actone.
