B.3. Predefined Aliases

A number of aliases are predefined, i.e. automatically built-in to ksh at compile time. They are listed in the table below. Note that some of them are defined with a trailing space character. This enables alias expansion on the word following the alias on the command line.

fc	2	alias fc=hist
float	6	alias float='typeset -E'
functions	6	alias functions='typeset -f'
hash	3	alias hash='alias -t --'
