Linux: Alias: Operation: Create: How to define an alias?

---

Open a console, and type the command:

 alias <your new name>=<your commands>

---

e.g.

alias attrib='chmod'

alias cd..='cd ..'

alias chkdsk='df'

alias cls='clear'

alias cls=clear

alias copy='cp'

alias copy=cp

alias d='ls -a'

alias del='rm'

alias dir..='dir ..'

alias dir='ls -lsa'

alias dir=ls -a

alias dira='ls mnt/floppy'

alias list=cat

alias md='mkdir'

alias mountfloppy='mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy'

alias move='mv'

alias prn='lpr'

alias q='emacs'

alias qa='q /etc/bashrc'

alias rd='rmdir'

alias ren='mv'

alias s='ftp </home/myftp'

alias type=cat

alias unmount='umount'

---

does not work: alias a='/mnt/floppy'

does not work: alias autoexec.bat='/etc/bashrc'

---

You can also change the defaults action of already existing commands,
e.g.

alias ls='ls -AF'

---

To get more information, type the command:

 man alias
