NAME

       0alias — create quick scripts to run 0launch

SYNOPSIS

       0alias ALIAS [INTERFACE [COMMAND]]

DESCRIPTION

       Having  to keep typing the full URI for a program each time you want to
       run it with 0launch is annoying. 0alias will create a little script  in
       your PATH to do it for you.

EXAMPLES

       A program can be invoked using 0launch:

       0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit

       To avoid having to keep entering the URI, create an alias:

       0alias rox-edit http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit

       To run Edit now:

       rox-edit

       To select a different version, or check for updates:

       0alias rox-edit

       If  an  interface provides more than one program, you can specify which
       one to use instead of the default. e.g.

       0alias svn http://example.com/subversion

       0alias svnadmin http://example.com/subversion svnadmin

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

       -d=DIR, --dir=DIR
              Install the script into directory DIR, rather than searching for
              a suitable directory in $PATH.

       -h, --help
              Show the built-in help text.

       -m, --manpage
              Display  the  manpage  for  the alias script given as the single
              argument. The alias can be an absolute pathname, or the name  of
              a  script in $PATH. If the argument isn’t an alias script, or if
              multiple arguments are given, then all arguments are  passed  to
              the  system  ’man’  command.  This  allows you to alias your man
              command like this:

              alias man=’0alias --manpage’

       -r, --resolve
              Print the interface URI for the given alias script to stdout.

       -V, --version
              Display version information.
