Properties

  • fname - returns the filename in which the alias exists
  • alias - returns the alias definition

Example

alias -l cow { say Cows go moo! }
alias fish {
  if (fishbot ison $active) say I love the smell of fish in the morning.
  else say I wish I could smell fish.
}

$isalias(cow)           returns $true since we have a cow alias.
$isalias(fish).fname    returns the filename in which the alias is saved or null if the alias doesn't exist.
