To creating an Alias

Type alias alias = command option .

If the original command includes options and arguments, enter it as a string in single quotation marks

For example, if you regularly printed three copies of everything to a printer called progeny, you could create an alias by typing alias p3= 'lpr -3 -P progeny' .

Once the alias is created, you can use the alias instead of the original command. For example, to send the file contactlist.txt to the printer, you would type p3 contact.txt .
