Alias Usuage
Hi All

I am new to the Unix World.I have question about alias.I learnt that alias allows to have a small more familiar command or name to execute a long string.I understand that I use C shell command and emacs editor

I tried editing the .cshrc.common file in order to set my environment variables .Since I often have to open the file .cshrc.common in emacs editor.I tried setting a alias name

alias environ '.cshrc.common'

When I gave the command emacs environ, a new file called environ is opened in the emacs editor.How do i make unix understand that

"emacs environ" command is similar to "emacs .cshrc.common"

Is this a right approach?any help plz

dh_installemacsen

DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)

NAME

       dh_installemacsen - register an Emacs add on package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installemacsen [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--priority=n] [--flavor=foo]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installemacsen is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by the Debian emacsen-common package into package
       build directories.

       It also automatically generates the preinst postinst and prerm commands needed to register a package as an Emacs add on package. The
       commands are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

FILES

       debian/package.emacsen-compat
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/compat/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-install
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-remove
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-startup
	   Installed into etc/emacs/site-start.d/50package.el in the package build directory. Use --priority to use a different priority than 50.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

       --priority=n
	   Sets the priority number of a site-start.d file. Default is 50.

       --flavor=foo
	   Sets the flavor a site-start.d file will be installed in. Default is emacs, alternatives include xemacs and emacs20.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       This program is a part of debhelper.
