alias & parameters
We just recently moved from a DG-UX (Unix V) to HP 9000 servers running POSIX. I used the c-shell in the DG-UX system mainly because the bourne-shell did not support aliasing. Now in the default posix-shell of HP aliasing is supported. The main difference seams to be that in a c-shell you can pass the cmd-line arguments to an alias by using '\!*' - this is not the case in the posix-shell (sh-shell). I know I can "pass" arguments to an alias in posix - it gets appended to the aliased cmd, but if your alias (main reason in my opinion) is a complex set of piped cmds then the arguments get again only appended to the last cmd. Is there a way to pass arguments In the sh-shell (posix) similar to "\!*" in the c-shell?
THX in advance for any help!

platform::shell
platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4? platform::shell::generic shell platform::shell::identify shell platform::shell::platform shell _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell. This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine. While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software. COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::generic shell This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::platform shell This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell. KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
