NAME
       ali - list mail aliases

SYNOPSIS
       ali [-alias aliasfile] [-list | -nolist] [-normalize | -nonormalize]
	    [-user | -nouser] [-version] [-help] [aliases ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Ali searches the named mail alias files for each of the given  aliases.
       It  creates a list of addresses for those aliases, and writes that list
       on standard output.  If no arguments are given, ali outputs  all	 alias
       entries.

       By  default,  when  an  aliases	expands	 to  multiple  addresses,  the
       addresses are separated by commas and printed on as few lines as possi‐
       ble.  If the -list option is specified, then when an address expands to
       multiple addresses, each address will appear on a separate line.

       The switch -user directs ali to perform its processing in  an  inverted
       fashion: instead of listing the addresses that each given alias expands
       to, ali will list the aliases that expand to each  given	 address.   If
       the -normalize switch is given, ali will try to track down the official
       hostname of the address.

       The files specified by the profile entry “Aliasfile” and any additional
       alias  files  given  by the -alias aliasfile switch will be read.  Each
       alias is processed as described in mh-alias(5).

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile	  The user profile
       /etc/passwd		  List of users
       /etc/group		  List of groups

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory
       Aliasfile:	    For a default alias file

SEE ALSO
       mh-alias(5)

DEFAULTS
       `aliasfiles' defaults to /etc/nmh/MailAliases
       `-nolist'
       `-nonormalize'
       `-nouser'

CONTEXT
       None

BUGS
       The -user option with -nonormalize is not entirely accurate, as it does
       not replace local nicknames for hosts with their official site names.
