What command displays all aliases defined in the current shell? (Specify the command without any path information)
alias -or- alias -p
The command to display all aliases defined in the current shell is:
bashalias
This command without any arguments will list all the aliases defined in the current shell session. An alias is a shortcut for a command or a set of commands. When an alias is defined, you can use the alias instead of typing the full command. For example, you can define an alias for the ls
command to always include the -l
option:
bashalias ll='ls -l'
Now, you can use the ll
alias instead of typing ls -l
every time:
diff$ ll total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Mar 13 20:49 file1 -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Mar 13 20:49 file2
Note that aliases are only defined for the current shell session. If you open a new terminal window, you will need to redefine the aliases. Also, aliases are not available in shell scripts, so you will need to use the full command in a script.
