I'm still having one question plz :
Does it exist this notion of alias for files like for commands ? In other words, can we create alias for file like for we used to do for command with the famous command :
alias command=cmd ? But for file instead of command ?
Thx,

ali(1) General Commands Manual ali(1)
NAME
ali - list mail aliases (only available within the message handling system, mh)
SYNOPSIS
ali [-alias aliasfile] [-help] [-[no]list] [-[no]normalize] [-user useraddr] [-nouser] [aliases...]
OPTIONS
Specifies the alias file to be consulted by ali. You can specify more than one alias file, but each aliasfile must be preceded by -alias.
In addition to any alias files that you specify, ali consults the system alias file /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases.
You can set up an entry in your so that ali automatically consults an alias file. To do this, add the Aliasfile entry to your pro-
file. See mh_profile(4) for more information. Prints a list of the valid options to this command. 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.
Instructs ali to try to track down the official hostname of the address. This can be suppressed by using -nonormalize. The default
is -nonormalize. Displays all the aliases that contain a specific name. Instead of listing the addresses that each given alias
expands to, ali lists 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 -nouser
DESCRIPTION
The ali command searches the specified mail alias files for each of the given aliases. It creates a list of addresses for those aliases,
and displays that list on the screen.
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Location of your mail directory. Location of your personal alias file.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how the -user option can be used to list all the aliases containing the address Parker@Venus: % ali -user
Parker@Venus Parker@Venus: Group, Reviewers, Badminton
FILES
The user profile. The system alias file. The system password file. The system group file.
