|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+These aliases are expanded in any position in the command line, meaning you can use them even at the
|
|
|
+end of the command you've typed. Examples:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Quickly pipe to less:
|
|
|
+```zsh
|
|
|
+$ ls -l /var/log L
|
|
|
+# will run
|
|
|
+$ ls -l /var/log | less
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+Silences stderr output:
|
|
|
+```zsh
|
|
|
+$ find . -type f NE
|
|
|
+# will run
|
|
|
+$ find . -type f 2>/dev/null
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+| Alias | Command | Description |
|
|
|
+|-------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|
+| H | `\| head` | Pipes output to head which outputs the first part of a file |

|
|
|
+| M | `\| most` | Pipes output to more, useful for paging |
|
|
|
+| LL | `2>&1 \| less` | Writes stderr to stdout and passes it to less |
|
|
|

|
|
|
+| NE | `2 > /dev/null` | Silences stderr |
|
|
|
+| NUL | `> /dev/null 2>&1` | Silences both stdout and stderr |
|
|
|
+| P | `2>&1\| pygmentize -l pytb` | Writes stderr to stdout and passes it to pygmentize |
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## File extension aliases
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+These are special aliases that are triggered when a file name is passed as the command. For example,
|
|
|
+if the pdf file extension is aliased to `acroread` (a popular Linux pdf reader), when running `file.pdf`
|
|
|
+that file will be open with `acroread`.
