NAME
newalias - install new elm aliases for user and/or system
SYNOPSIS
newalias [-g]
DESCRIPTION
Newalias creates new hash and data files from a text file.
If the program is invoked with the -g (global) flag, the
program updates the system alias files. Otherwise, the pro-
gram looks for a file called $HOME/.elm/aliases.text and,
upon finding it, creates files $HOME/.elm/aliases.dir,
$HOME/.elm/aliases.pag and $HOME/.elm/aliases for the elm
program.
The format that the program expects is;
alias, alias, .. = comment = address
or
alias, alias, .. = comment = alias, alias, ...
The first form is for an individual user such as;
dave, taylor = Dave Taylor = veeger!hpcnou!dat
or optionally as;
dave, taylor = Taylor; Dave = veeger!hpcnou!dat
to allow the aliases to be properly sorted by last name.
The second is for defining a group alias such as;
gurus = Unix Gurus = alan, john, dave, mike, richard,
larry, t_richardson
Note that lines can be continued at will, blank lines are
accepted without error, and that any line starting with '#'
is considered a comment and is not processed.
If the `comment', or `address' fields need to contain `='
characters, those characters must either be escaped using a
backslash character or the address must be inside double-
quotes (`"').
Aliases are case insensitive so dave and Dave are both the
same alias.
Finally, aliases can contain other aliases, and/or groups;
unix = Unix people = gurus, taylor, jonboy
FILES
$HOME/.elm/aliases.text alias source for user
$HOME/.elm/aliases.dir alias dbz directory for user
$HOME/.elm/aliases.pag alias dbz hash file for user
$HOME/.elm/aliases alias data file for user
/usr/local/lib/aliases.text alias source for system
/usr/local/lib/aliases.dir alias dbz directory for sys-
tem
/usr/local/lib/aliases.pag alias data hash table for
system
/usr/local/lib/aliases alias data file for system
Newalias has a couple of descriptive error messages which
don't need to be detailed here. It is, however, worth not-
ing that the checkalias program can be used to ensure that
the aliases are in the proper order and are available for
the elm system.
