# alias

Tags: dfhack

Command: `alias`

Configure helper aliases for other DFHack commands.

Aliases are resolved immediately after built-in commands, which means that an alias cannot override a built-in command, but can override a command implemented by a plugin or script.

## Usage

`alias list`

  Lists all configured aliases

`alias add <name> <command> [arguments...]`

  Adds an alias

`alias replace <name> <command> [arguments...]`

  Replaces an existing alias with a new command, or adds the alias if it does not already exist

`alias delete <name>`

  Removes the specified alias

Aliases can be given additional arguments when created and invoked, which will be passed to the underlying command in order.

## Example

    [DFHack]# alias add pargs devel/print-args example
    [DFHack]# pargs text
    example
    text
