NAME
       L.aliases - UUCP hostname alias file

DESCRIPTION
       The L.aliases file defines mapping (aliasing) of system names for uucp.
       This is intended for compensating for systems that have changed	names,
       or do not provide their entire machine name (like most USG systems). It
       is also useful when  a  machine's  name	is  not	 obvious  or  commonly
       misspelled.

       Each line in L.aliases is of the form:

	    real_name alias_name

       Any  amount  of whitespace may separate the two items.  Lines beginning
       with a `#' character are comments.

       All occurrences of alias_name are mapped to  real_name  by  uucico(8C),
       uucp(1), and uux(1).  The mapping occurs regardless of whether the name
       was typed in by a user or provided by a remote site.  An	 exception  is
       the  -s	option	of  uucico; only the site's real hostname (the name in
       L.sys(5)) will be accepted there.

       Aliased system names should not be placed in L.sys; they	 will  not  be
       used.
