                     18: \fIAli\fR
                     19: searches the named mail alias files for each of the given \fIaliases\fR.
                     20: It creates a list of addresses for those \fIaliases\fR,
                     21: and writes that list on standard output.
                     22: If the `\-list' option is specified, each address appears on a separate line;
                     23: otherwise, the addresses are separated by commas and printed on
                     24: as few lines as possible.
                     25: 
                     26: The `\-user' option directs \fIali\fR to perform its processing in an
                     27: inverted fashion:
                     28: instead of listing the addresses that each given alias expands to,
                     29: \fIali\fR will list the aliases that expand to each given address.
                     30: If the `\-normalize' switch is given,
                     31: \fIali\fR will try to track down the official hostname of the address.
                     32: 
                     33: Each \fIalias\fR is processed as described in \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5).

                     53: The `\-user' option with `\-nonormalize' is not entirely accurate,
                     54: as it does not replace local nicknames for hosts with their official
                     55: site names.
