  1. chalias channel alias

  3. chalias -e [channel_name | node_name]

Gives a channel another name by which it can be referenced. The original name is still valid and can be used in expressions.

If you specify only a channel name, the command lists any aliases on the channel. If you specify only a node name, the command lists any aliases on any of the node’s channels.

Options

-r
