# listalias(1)

list user and system aliases

## NAME

listalias - list user and system aliases

## SYNOPSIS

**listalias** \[ -s \| -u \] \[ regular-expression \]

## DESCRIPTION

*Listalias* outputs a line per alias in both the user and the system  aliases.  Each line is of the form;

```
   <alias>     <address>  (<comment>)
```

If an optional regular expression is used, just the aliases that match the specified expression are listed.  If not,  they are all listed.

Either way, the output is sorted.

## OPTIONS

- **-s**

  Display only the system aliases.    **-s** and **-u** are mutually exclusive.

- **-u**

  Display only the user aliases.    **-s** and **-u** are mutually exclusive.

## BUGS

Since the program uses a pipe to egrep, how expressions are evaluated is a function of *that* program, not this one!
