12: The _L._a_l_i_a_s_e_s file defines mapping (aliasing) of system
13: names for uucp. This is intended for compensating for sys-
14: tems that have changed names, or do not provide their entire
15: machine name (like most USG systems). It is also useful when
16: a machine's name is not obvious or commonly misspelled.
17:
18: Each line in _L._a_l_i_a_s_e_s is of the form:
19:
20: real_name alias_name
21:
22: Any amount of whitespace may separate the two items. Lines
23: beginning with a `#' character are comments.
24:
25: All occurrences of _a_l_i_a_s__n_a_m_e are mapped to _r_e_a_l__n_a_m_e by
26: _u_u_c_i_c_o(8C), _u_u_c_p(1), and _u_u_x(1). The mapping occurs regard-
27: less of whether the name was typed in by a user or provided
28: by a remote site. An exception is the --ss option of _u_u_c_i_c_o;
29: only the site's real hostname (the name in _L._s_y_s(5)) will be
30: accepted there.
31:
32: Aliased system names should not be placed in _L._s_y_s; they
33: will not be used.
