| 26 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 27 | \fIAli\fR searches the named mail alias files for each of the given |
|---|
| 28 | \fIaliases\fR. It creates a list of addresses for those \fIaliases\fR, |
|---|
| 29 | and writes that list on standard output. If no arguments are given, |
|---|
| 30 | \fIali\fR outputs all alias entries. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | By default, when an aliases expands to multiple addresses, the addresses |
|---|
| 33 | are separated by commas and printed on as few lines as possible. If the |
|---|
| 34 | `\-list' option is specified, then when an address expands to multiple |
|---|
| 35 | addresses, each address will appear on a separate line. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | The switch `\-user' directs \fIali\fR to perform its processing in |
|---|
| 38 | an inverted fashion: instead of listing the addresses that each given |
|---|
| 39 | alias expands to, \fIali\fR will list the aliases that expand to each |
|---|
| 40 | given address. If the `\-normalize' switch is given, \fIali\fR will |
|---|
| 41 | try to track down the official hostname of the address. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any |
|---|
| 44 | additional alias files given by the `\-alias aliasfile' switch will be |
|---|
| 45 | read. Each \fIalias\fR is processed as described in \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5). |
