SYNOPSISpraliases [-f filename] [--] [alias_name...]
OPTIONS
Displays the aliases using the specified dbm file instead of the system
aliases file.
OPERANDS
The alias name to find. If no aliases are given, then the entire con‐
tents of the dbm file are displayed.
DESCRIPTION
The praliases command displays system aliases used by the sendmail(8)
program. If no arguments are given, the praliases command displays all
of the system aliases contained in the file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases.
An alternative file can be specified using the -f option.
Specific aliases can be displayed by specifying one or more alias
names.
[Tru64 UNIX] Aliases can be created either with or without the termi‐
nating null character ('\0\') considered to be part of the name. Under
Tru64 UNIX, an attempt is made to find either version; other vendor's
implementations may check only for the key with an embedded NULL.
[Tru64 UNIX] The system aliases file under Tru64 UNIX is stored under
the /var/adm/sendmail directory. Other vendor's implementations may
expect the file to exist under the /etc directory.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned as defined in
/usr/include/sysexits.h: No errors occurred. An invalid argument was
specified. The specified dbm file does not exists.
EXAMPLES
To display all of the system aliases, enter: praliases To display a
mailing list called foo, enter: praliases foo To display the contents
of a dbm file my_list, enter: praliases-f my_list
