Subject: Alias command /and/ flags
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 19:31:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878tsbfjs0.fsf@wavexx.thregr.org> (raw)
Let's imagine I want to alias the specific invocation of "cmd flag" with
"cmd2 flag2". Is it possible to alias commands with arguments (that is,
only in command position and *not* global replacements)?
I'm of course looking for an *exact* match of the positional parameters,
no more.
I can think of a way by defining a "cmd" function and do the checking on
the arguments myself, which is definitely more generalizable, although
seems a bit overkill for a simple scenario I had in mind.
Any reason:
alias "cmd flag"="cmd2 flag2"
shouldn't work at least in principle?
