NAME

       praliases - display system mail aliases

SYNOPSIS

       praliases [-f filename] [--] [alias_name...]

OPTIONS

       Displays the aliases using the specified dbm file instead of the system aliases file.

OPERANDS

       The alias name to find. If no aliases are given, then the entire contents of the dbm file are displayed.

DESCRIPTION

       The  praliases  command	displays system aliases used by the sendmail(8) program. If no arguments are given, the praliases command displays
       all of the system aliases contained in the file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases.

       An alternative file can be specified using the -f option.

       Specific aliases can be displayed by specifying one or more alias names.

       [Tru64 UNIX]  Aliases can be created either with or without the terminating null character ('') considered  to  be  part  of	the  name.
       Under  Tru64  UNIX,  an	attempt is made to find either version; other vendor's implementations may check only for the key with an embedded
       NULL.

       [Tru64 UNIX]  The system aliases file under Tru64 UNIX is stored under the /var/adm/sendmail directory. Other vendor's implementations  may
       expect the file to exist under the /etc directory.

EXIT STATUS

       The  following exit values are returned as defined in /usr/include/sysexits.h: No errors occurred.  An invalid argument was specified.  The
       specified dbm file does not exists.

EXAMPLES

       To display all of the system aliases, enter: praliases To display a mailing list called foo, enter: praliases foo To display  the  contents
       of a dbm file my_list, enter: praliases -f my_list
