>Description</H2
><P
>The <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>alias</B
> command is used to maintain simple command
line aliases. These aliases are shorthand for longer expressions.
When the pattern %{name} appears in a command line, including in a script,
the corresponding value will be substituted. Aliases may be nested.
</P
><P
>If no value is provided, then the current value of the alias is displayed.
</P
><P
>If the system supports non-volatile configuration data via the
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>fconfig</B
> command (see <A
HREF="persistent-state-flash.html"
>the Section called <I
>Persistent State Flash-based Configuration and Control</I
> in Chapter 2</A
>),
then the value will be saved and used when the system is reset.
