nameref='typeset -n'

nohup='nohup '

r='hist -s'

redirect='command exec'

stop='kill -s STOP'

times='{ {time;} 2>&1;}'

type='whence -v'

Options

-p Print the word alias before each alias. Not ksh88.

-t Create a tracked alias for a Unix command name. The Korn

shell remembers the full pathname of the command, allowing

it to be found more quickly and to be issued from any direc-

tory. If no name is supplied, current tracked aliases are listed.

Tracked aliases are similar to hashed commands in Bash. Korn

shell only. ksh93 always does alias tracking.

-x Export the alias; it can now be used in shell scripts and other

subshells. If no name is supplied, current exported aliases are

listed. Korn shell only. ksh93 accepts this option but ignores

it.

Example

alias dir='echo ${PWD##*/}'

autoload

autoload [functions]

Korn shell alias for typeset -fu. Load (define) the functions only

when they are first used.
