newalias - install new elm aliases for user and/or systemSYNOPSIS
newalias [-g]DESCRIPTION
Newalias creates new hash and data files from a text file. If the program is invoked with the -g (global) flag, the program updates the system alias files. Otherwise, the pro- gram looks for a file called $HOME/.elm/aliases.text and, upon finding it, creates files $HOME/.elm/aliases.dir, $HOME/.elm/aliases.pag and $HOME/.elm/aliases for the elm program. The format that the program expects is; alias, alias, .. = comment = address or alias, alias, .. = comment = alias, alias, ... The first form is for an individual user such as; dave, taylor = Dave Taylor = veeger!hpcnou!dat or optionally as; dave, taylor = Taylor; Dave = veeger!hpcnou!dat to allow the aliases to be properly sorted by last name. The second is for defining a group alias such as; gurus = Unix Gurus = alan, john, dave, mike, richard, larry, t_richardson Note that lines can be continued at will, blank lines are accepted without error, and that any line starting with '#' is considered a comment and is not processed. If the `comment', or `address' fields need to contain `=' characters, those characters must either be escaped using a backslash character or the address must be inside double- quotes (`"'). Aliases are case insensitive so dave and Dave are both the same alias. Finally, aliases can contain other aliases, and/or groups; unix = Unix people = gurus, taylor, jonboyFILES

Newalias has a couple of descriptive error messages which don't need to be detailed here. It is, however, worth not- ing that the checkalias program can be used to ensure that the aliases are in the proper order and are available for the elm system.BUG REPORTS TO
