The dalias command defines a dbx-style (csh-style) alias. It is valid only in native mode.
(dbx alias) List all currently defined aliases.
If a name is specified, list the definition, if any, of alias name.
If a definition is also specified, define name to be an alias for definition. definition can contain white space. A semicolon or newline terminates the definition.
where:
name is the name of an alias
definition is the definition of an alias.
dbx accepts the following csh history substitution meta-syntax, which is commonly used in aliases:
!:<n>
!-<n>
!^
!$
!*
The ! usually needs to be preceded by a backslash. For example:
dalias goto "stop at \!:1; cont; clear"
