Syntax
ali [ -alias aliasfile ] [ -help ] [ -[no]list ] [ -[no]normalize ] [ -user useraddr ] [ -nouser ] [ aliases ... ]

displays that list on the screen.
Options

-alias. In addition to any alias files that you specify, consults the system alias file

file. See for more information.
-help Prints a list of the valid options to this command.
-list
-nolist Prints the addresses on separate lines. If you do not specify the -list option, the addresses are separated by commas and
printed on as few lines as possible.
-normalize
-nonormalize
Instructs to try to track down the official hostname of the address. This can be suppressed by using -nonormalize. The default
is -nonormalize.
-user useraddr

the aliases that expand to include each given address. You must specify the complete user name that you have used in your alias
file.
The defaults for this command are:
-alias /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases
-nolist
-nonormalize
