     ALI(1)		   [nmh-1.0.4] (MH.6.8)			ALI(1)

     NAME
	  ali - list mail aliases

     SYNOPSIS
	  ali [-alias aliasfile] [-list] [-nolist] [-normalize]
	       [-nonormalize] [-user] [-nouser] [aliases ...]
	       [-version] [-help]

     DESCRIPTION
	  Ali searches the named mail alias files for each of the
	  given aliases.  It creates a list of addresses for those
	  aliases, and writes that list on standard output.  If no
	  arguments are given, ali outputs all alias entries.

	  By default, when an aliases expands to multiple addresses,
	  the addresses are separated by commas and printed on as few
	  lines as possible.  If the `-list' option is specified, then
	  when an address expands to multiple addresses, each address
	  will appear on a separate line.

	  The switch `-user' directs ali to perform its processing in
	  an inverted fashion: instead of listing the addresses that
	  each given alias expands to, ali will list the aliases that
	  expand to each given address.	 If the `-normalize' switch is
	  given, ali will try to track down the official hostname of
	  the address.

	  The files specified by the profile entry Aliasfile: and any
	  additional alias files given by the `-alias aliasfile'
	  switch will be read.	Each alias is processed as described
	  in mh-alias (5).

     BUGS
	  The `-user' option with `-nonormalize' is not entirely
	  accurate, as it does not replace local nicknames for hosts
	  with their official site names.
