Subject: eshell: how to alias cp 'cp -i' ?
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2007 12:18:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1188933532.622355.111700@d55g2000hsg.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm new to eshell and am wondering how to alias
"cp" to "cp -i". As a first step, I tried this:
~ $ alias tmpcp 'cp -i'
~ $ tmpcp tmp.eps tmp2.eps
cp: missing destination file or directory
~ $
I don't find a/the documentation (the info page
on the eshell alias is empty on my system, which
is emacs22 on the testing distribution of Debian),
or I fail to find a solution in the archive of this group
(the lastest posting which is more or less relevent
is dated 2001 or so).
I don't insist on aliases. Something like
(defun cp (args) (builtin-cp -i args))
would do, too. (I'm a lisp newbie, too, so
I'm sure that the code above is wrong.)
Thank you,
Ryo
