Alias Routines
The alias naming routines are generally used by utility routines to
define, delete, retrieve, and list alias names. Alias names are used
as an easy way to reference a directory and/or an image name with a
short definition. When an alias name is defined, the alias name may
be used by prefixing the alias with a "$". An alias name has no
termination character, so it is assumed to be terminated by the end
of the input string or by the occurrence of any nonalphanumeric
character.
Existing routines (such as c_getin() and c_getout())
which retrieve filenames already contain a call to c_getalias().
Other applications that receive filenames or directory paths should use
c_getalias() to resolve any alias that may have been used. A
program can access these routines by linking in the following object
library:
$LASLIB/las.a
