The alias file
The alias file is a file that contains lines of the form
alias=value
where alias is a name to which you have assigned a pathname
to a file or a device.
There are two reasons for having an alias file:
-
to simplify
references to files or devices with lengthy pathnames
-
to define search paths (similar to $PATH in the
UNIX system shell)
The name of the alias file must be given as an argument on the fmli
command line with the -a alias_file option
when it is invoked.
