Subject: alias function in rc
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1992 11:10:15 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9202111710.AA18988@dahlie.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de> (raw)
I as a nasty sytem administrator, I'm planning to let csh slowly die
( if the users let me, of course! ). I'd like to make rc the standart shell.
To make life easier for them I wrote a little rc function which provides
the functionality of the common alias definitions. I post it here hoping
you will benefit from it. Let me here of bugs and incompabilities!
fn alias {
fn deffn {
name = $^1; shift 1
newfn = 'fn ' ^ $^name ^ ' { builtin ' ^ $^* ^ ' $* }'
eval $newfn
}
switch( $#* ){
case 0; whatis | grep '^fn ';
case 1; whatis $^1;
case 2; name=() newfn=() deffn $*;
case 3; echo 'usage:' $0 '[alias_name [''definition'']]' >[1=2]
return 1
}
}
Malte.
