NAME
       ali  -  list  mail  aliases (only available within the message handling
       system, mh)

SYNOPSIS
       ali [-alias  aliasfile]	[-help]	 [-[no]list]  [-[no]normalize]	[-user
       useraddr] [-nouser] [aliases...]

OPTIONS
       Specifies  the alias file to be consulted by ali.  You can specify more
       than one alias file, but each aliasfile must be preceded by -alias.  In
       addition	 to  any alias files that you specify, ali consults the system
       alias file /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases.

	      You can set up an entry in your so that ali  automatically  con‐
	      sults an alias file. To do this, add the Aliasfile entry to your
	      profile. See mh_profile(4) for more information.	Prints a  list
	      of  the  valid options to this command.  Prints the addresses on
	      separate lines. If you do not  specify  the  -list  option,  the
	      addresses are separated by commas and printed on as few lines as
	      possible.	 Instructs ali to try to track down the official host‐
	      name  of the address. This can be suppressed by using -nonormal‐
	      ize. The default is -nonormalize.	 Displays all the aliases that
	      contain  a  specific name. Instead of listing the addresses that
	      each given alias expands to, ali lists the aliases  that	expand
	      to  include  each	 given	address. You must specify the complete
	      user name that you have used in your alias file.

       The defaults for this command are:

       -alias  /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases
       -nolist
       -nonormalize
       -nouser

DESCRIPTION
       The ali command searches the specified mail alias files for each of the
       given  aliases.	It  creates a list of addresses for those aliases, and
       displays that list on the screen.

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Location of your mail directory.	 Location of your personal alias file.

EXAMPLES
       The following example shows how the -user option can be	used  to  list
       all  the	 aliases  containing  the  address  Parker@Venus:  % ali -user
       Parker@Venus Parker@Venus: Group, Reviewers, Badminton

FILES
       The user profile.  The system alias file.  The  system  password	 file.
       The system group file.
