💖 man(1) — the Profanity XMPP client manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so hi, you're reading the manual page for man(1) from the Profanity XMPP client, and honestly? iconic. we're doing this together, you and me, no cap. grab a lil snack 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

/alias — it's the Profanity /alias command, like, that's the whole name. short. sweet. main character energy. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically /alias is your little command-nickname machine. You can add, remove, or list your command aliases. That's it. That's the vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you actually talk to it, fr fr:

/alias list

/alias add <name> <value>

/alias remove <name>

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • list — shows you every alias you've got. the whole collection. the wardrobe tour. 👑
  • add <name> <value> — makes a brand new command alias. ⚠️ heads up bestie: the alias name must not contain any space characters. spaces are not welcome here, periodt.
  • remove <name> — yeets a command alias out of existence. bye boo 👋

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

copy these, they're cute, they work:

/alias add friends /who online friends
/alias add /q /quit
/alias add urg /msg odin@valhalla.edda [URGENT]
/alias add afk /status set away "Away From Keyboard"
/alias remove q
/alias list

see how easy? you literally just type /q and it quits. that's the whole slay. 🔥

ngl, the space-character rule on alias names is the one thing that'll catch you slipping. read it again. we love you but no spaces. 🙈

okay that's the whole page!! this was version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08, from the Profanity XMPP client — and yeah, the page header was man(1) because apparently that's the manual title, don't ask me, I just work here 💜

mwah, go alias something iconic, you got this 🫶✨🎀
