15 \fIAli\fR
16 searches the named mail alias files for each of the given \fIaliases\fR.
17 It creates a list of addresses for those \fIaliases\fR,
18 and writes that list on standard output.
19 If the `\-list' option is specified, each address appears on a separate line;
20 otherwise, the addresses are separated by commas and printed on
21 as few lines as possible.
22
23 The `\-user' option directs \fIali\fR to perform its processing in an
24 inverted fashion:
25 instead of listing the addresses that each given alias expands to,
26 \fIali\fR will list the aliases that expand to each given address.
27 If the `\-normalize' switch is given,
28 \fIali\fR will try to track down the official hostname of the address.
29
30 The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any
31 additional alias files given by the `\-alias aliasfile' switch will be read.
32 Each \fIalias\fR is processed as described in \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5).

54 The `\-user' option with `\-nonormalize' is not entirely accurate,
55 as it does not replace local nicknames for hosts with their official
56 site names.
