praliases(1)
NAME
  praliases - display system mail aliases

SYNOPSIS
  praliases [-f filename] [--] [alias_name...]

OPTIONS
  -f  Displays the aliases using the specified dbm file instead of the system
      aliases file.

OPERANDS
  alias_name
      The alias name to find. If no aliases are given, then the entire
      contents of the dbm file are displayed.

DESCRIPTION
  The praliases command displays system aliases used by the sendmail(8)
  program. If no arguments are given, the praliases command displays all of
  the system aliases contained in the file /var/adm/sendmail/aliases.

  An alternative file can be specified using the -f option.

  Specific aliases can be displayed by specifying one or more alias names.

  [Tru64 UNIX]	Aliases can be created either with or without the terminating
  null character ('\0\') considered to be part of the name.  Under Tru64
  UNIX, an attempt is made to find either version; other vendor's
  implementations may check only for the key with an embedded NULL.

  [Tru64 UNIX]	The system aliases file under Tru64 UNIX is stored under the
  /var/adm/sendmail directory. Other vendor's implementations may expect the
  file to exist under the /etc directory.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned as defined in
  /usr/include/sysexits.h:

  0   No errors occurred.

  EX_USAGE (64)
      An invalid argument was specified.

  EX_OSFILE (72)
      The specified dbm file does not exists.

EXAMPLES
   1.  To display all of the system aliases, enter:
	    praliases

   2.  To display a mailing list called foo, enter:
	    praliases foo

   3.  To display the contents of a dbm file my_list, enter:
