Get-Alias

Short description
Gets the aliases for the current session.

Syntax


Description
The Get-Alias cmdlet gets the aliases (alternate names for commands and executable files) in the current session. This 
includes built-in aliases, aliases that you have set or imported, and aliases that you have added to your Windows Power
Shell profile.


By default, Get-Alias takes an alias and returns the command name. When you use the Definition parameter, Get-Alias tak
es a command name and returns its aliases.


Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, Get-Alias displays non-hyphenated alias names in an "<alias> -> <definition>" form
at to make it even easier to find the information that you need.
