alias Command and Bourne 2

[Michael42]

Hello,

Is the alias command available in the Bourne shell?

If so, can some give a Bourne .profile shell example alias entry?

Thanks,

Michael42

I don't believe it is, but you can use a function instead.

ll() {
        ls -l
}

The Bourne Shell has no alias builtin command.
You may consider a function instead.

Hope This Helps, PH.
