\section alias alias - create a function
\subsection alias-synopsis Synopsis
<pre>alias NAME DEFINITION
alias NAME=DEFINITION</pre>
\subsection alias-description Description
\c alias is a simple wrapper for the \c function builtin.
It exists for backwards compatibility with Posix
shells. For other uses, it is recommended to define a <a
href='#function'>function</a>.
\c fish does not keep track of which functions have been defined using
\c alias. They must be erased using <code>functions -e</code>.
- 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.
\subsection alias-example Example
The following code will create \c rmi, which runs \c rm with additional
arguments on every invocation.
<code>alias rmi "rm -i"</code>
This is equivalent to entering the following function:
<pre>function rmi
rm -i $argv
end</pre>
