Okay, thanks. aliases(5) appears to indicate that commas are the
proper delimiter. However, semicolons also seem to have been working.
Have I just been lucky?
The format of the alias database input file is as follows:
· An alias definition has the form
name: value1, value2, ...
· Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as
are lines whose first non-whitespace
character is a `#'.
· A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line
that starts with whitespace contin‐
ues a logical line.
Should I go through and replace the semicolons with commas just to be safe?
Thanks,
Alex
