alias

Sets up an alias for a command or a string.

SYNTAX

alias
alias new-name command
alias new-name [(parameters)] "string"

DESCRIPTION

Use the alias command to set up an alias for a command or a string. When commands are processed, Prism first checks if the word is an alias for either a command or a string. If it is an alias, Prism treats the input as though the corresponding string (with values substituted for any parameters) had been entered.

For example, to define an alias rr for the command rerun, issue the command

alias rr rerun 

To define an alias called b that sets a breakpoint at a particular line, you can issue the command

alias b(x) "stop at x"

You could then issue the command b(12), which Prism expands to

stop at 12

Prism sets up some aliases for you automatically. Issue alias with no parameters to list the current set of aliases.

Issue the unalias command to remove an alias.
