====== Other: alias ====== Syntax: alias [<alias> [<value>]] View, or set an alias. When setting aliases, there are a number of variables that are replaced by the alias processor. $* is replaced by the whole argument given to the alias, $1 is replaced by the first argument given, $2 is replaced by the second argument, etc.... Defaults can be given to each argument like so: $3{3rd} (default of third argument is "3rd") Examples: alias gsl grin $1 smile $1 laugh $1 alias x look at $* alias grin grin $*{mischievously} alias yas say $5 $4 $3 $2 $1 Note: Any alias defined without a variable gains a $* wildcard at the end automatically.
