Given just a command, it will report the value of the command if it is currently aliased. If value is a null string, the command will be _u_n_a_l_i_a_s_e_d. Otherwise, this will make command an alias for value. Aliases cannot override valid commands. If an alias and a command have the same name, the command will have preference. It may be possible to rename a valid command to a new name and then create an alias in its place if that is desired.
