Usage Guidelines
Aliasing allows you to abbreviate commands or to set up a command so that it is automatically run with
certain options. The ROM monitor's alias function is based on the syntax used in the Korn shell on Unix
systems.
Normally, only the first word at the ROM monitor prompt is checked for an alias. However, when you
define an alias that contains a space as its last character, the ROM monitor also checks the next word at
the ROM monitor prompt for an alias.
If an alias contains any spaces, the entire command must be enclosed within quotes when you define it
Note
with the alias command. To create an alias for multiple commands, separate the commands with a
semicolon (;) delimiter.
