29.6. zsh Aliases

zsh has the regular command alias covered in Section 29.4. zsh is compatible with the C shell in many ways, but it doesn't accept csh alias syntax without an equal sign (= ) between the name and value. That's probably because, as in other Bourne-type shells, zsh allows you to set multiple aliases with one command, like this:

zsh$ alias ri='rm -i' mi='mv -i' 
					 ...and so on
