List user and system aliases

Usage

listalias [{-s | -u}] [regular-expression]

Overview

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!
