Alias (add debugger command alias)

alias alias-name debugger-command

Add alias alias-name for a debugger command debugger-comand.

Add an alias when you want to use a command abbreviation for a command that would otherwise be ambigous. For example, by default we make s be an alias of step to force it to be used. Without the alias, s might be step, show, or set among others

Example:

alias cat list   # "cat myprog.py" is the same as "list myprog.py"
alias s   step   # "s" is now an alias for "step".
                 # The above example is done by default.
