                     13: .I L.aliases
                     14: file defines mapping (aliasing) of system names for uucp.
                     15: This is intended for compensating for systems that have
                     16: changed names, or do not provide their entire machine name
                     17: (like most USG systems). It is also useful when a machine's name
                     18: is not obvious or commonly misspelled.
                     19: .PP
                     20: Each line in
                     21: .I L.aliases

                     31: All occurrences of
                     32: .I alias_name
                     33: are mapped to
                     34: .I real_name
                     35: by

                     39: .IR uux (1).
                     40: The mapping occurs regardless of whether the name was typed in by a user
                     41: or provided by a remote site. An exception is the
                     42: .B -s
