Aliases

Aliases may be established for command names, macros, and even other aliases. By defining an alias for one of these objects, one is merely specifying an alternative name by which the aliased object may be referred. Note that this defines an alternative, rather than a change, and affects no other aspect of the thing being aliased. For instance, the alias has no effect on the parameters of an aliased command. Once established, the alias name may be used wherever the original name is valid.
