\alias
Alias commands enable you to add and list user defined shortcuts.
In order to persist the aliases you need to add \alias add statements in the $CLC_HOME/shell.clc script. shell.clc script is sourced when CLC starts in the interactive mode.

Aliases can be used with the @ prefix. For example, an alias named my-alias can be used as @my-alias.
