NAME¶
0alias — create quick scripts to run 0launch
SYNOPSIS¶
0alias ALIAS [
INTERFACE [
MAIN]]
DESCRIPTION¶
Having to keep typing the full URI for a program each time you want to run it
with 0launch is annoying. 0alias will create a little script in your PATH to
do it for you.
Note: the newer "0install add" command provides a more efficient
alternative to using aliases.
EXAMPLES¶
A program can be invoked using 0launch:
0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit
To avoid having to keep entering the URI, create an alias:
0alias rox-edit http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit
To run Edit now:
rox-edit
To select a different version, or check for updates:
0alias rox-edit
If an interface provides more than one program, you can specify which one to use
instead of the default. e.g.
0alias svn http://example.com/subversion
0alias svnadmin http://example.com/subversion svnadmin
(this is for older programs that use MAIN; for newer programs you may need to
use --command instead)
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS¶
- -c=COMMAND, --command=COMMAND
- The generated script will execute COMMAND rather than the
default ("run").
- -d=DIR, --dir=DIR
- Install the script into directory DIR, rather than
searching for a suitable directory in $PATH.
- -h, --help
- Show the built-in help text.
- -m, --manpage
- Display the manpage for the alias script given as the
single argument. The alias can be an absolute pathname, or the name of a
script in $PATH. If the argument isn't an alias script, or if multiple
arguments are given, then all arguments are passed to the system 'man'
command. This allows you to alias your man command like this:
alias man='0alias --manpage'
- -r, --resolve
- Print the interface URI for the given alias script to
stdout.
- -V, --version
- Display version information.
