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

+The `\-user' option with `\-nonormalize' is not entirely accurate,
+as it does not replace local nicknames for hosts with their official
