Syntax Description
Defaults This command has no default settings.
Command Types ROM monitor command.
Command Modes Normal.
Usage Guidelines If value contains white space or other special (shell) characters, you must use quotation marks. If value
has a space as its last character, the next command line w or d is ch eck ed for an ali as. ( Normal ly, only the
first word on a command line is checked.)
Without an argument, this command prints a list of all aliased names with their values.
An equal sign (=) is required between the name and value of the alias.
You must issue a sync command to save your change. If you do not issue a sync command, the change
is not saved, and a reset removes your change.
