Access alias address mail
A classic Unix command!
alias
, address
, and mail
are three separate commands in Unix-like operating systems. Here's a brief overview of each:
-
alias
: Thealias
command is used to create an alias for a command or a sequence of commands. An alias is a shortcut that allows you to run a command with a different name. For example, you can create an alias for thels
command to make it easier to run:alias ll='ls -l'
This creates an alias called
ll
that runs thels -l
command. You can then runll
instead of typingls -l
. -
address
: Theaddress
command is used to manage email addresses. It allows you to set up an email address for a user or a group of users. Theaddress
command is typically used in conjunction with themail
command to send email messages.
For example, you can use address
to set up an email address for a user named "john":
address john
This sets up an email address for the user "john". You can then use the mail
command to send an email message to "john".
mail
: Themail
command is used to send and receive email messages. It allows you to compose, send, and receive email messages using a command-line interface.
For example, you can use mail
to send an email message to a user named "john":
mail john
This opens a text editor where you can compose an email message to "john". You can then send the message by typing Ctrl+D
or Ctrl+X
.
In summary, alias
is used to create shortcuts for commands, address
is used to manage email addresses, and mail
is used to send and receive email messages.
