Aliases

An alias is an alternative way of entering an existing command. Each alias is either shorter than the original command, or it is unique within the command's suite (because only the number of characters sufficient to uniquely identify a command need to be entered to execute the command, unique aliases require less typing).

The bak suite is the only command suite with aliases. Refer to the bak(8dfs) reference page for a list of the bak commands that have aliases.
