NAME

       0alias -- create quick scripts to run 0launch

SYNOPSIS

       0alias ALIAS [INTERFACE [MAIN]]

DESCRIPTION

       Having  to keep typing the full URI for a program each time you want to run it with 0launch is annoying. 0alias will create a little script
       in your PATH to do it for you.

       Note: the newer "0install add" command provides a more efficient alternative to using aliases.

EXAMPLES

       A program can be invoked using 0launch:

       0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit

       To avoid having to keep entering the URI, create an alias:

       0alias rox-edit http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit

       To run Edit now:

       rox-edit

       To select a different version, or check for updates:

       0alias rox-edit

       If an interface provides more than one program, you can specify which one to use instead of the default. e.g.

       0alias svn http://example.com/subversion

       0alias svnadmin http://example.com/subversion svnadmin

       (this is for older programs that use MAIN; for newer programs you may need to use --command instead)

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       -c=COMMAND, --command=COMMAND
	      The generated script will execute COMMAND rather than the default ("run").

       -d=DIR, --dir=DIR
	      Install the script into directory DIR, rather than searching for a suitable directory in $PATH.

       -h, --help
	      Show the built-in help text.

       -m, --manpage
	      Display the manpage for the alias script given as the single argument. The alias can be an absolute  pathname,  or  the  name  of  a
	      script  in  $PATH.  If  the argument isn't an alias script, or if multiple arguments are given, then all arguments are passed to the
	      system 'man' command. This allows you to alias your man command like this:

	      alias man='0alias --manpage'

       -r, --resolve
	      Print the interface URI for the given alias script to stdout.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information.
