- \fIAli\fR
- searches the named mail alias files for each of the given \fIaliases\fR.
- It creates a list of addresses for those \fIaliases\fR,
- and writes that list on standard output.
- If the `\-list' option is specified, each address appears on a separate line;
- otherwise, the addresses are separated by commas and printed on
- as few lines as possible.
-
- The `\-user' option directs \fIali\fR to perform its processing in an
- inverted fashion:
- instead of listing the addresses that each given alias expands to,
- \fIali\fR will list the aliases that expand to each given address.
- If the `\-normalize' switch is given,
- \fIali\fR will try to track down the official hostname of the address.
-
- Each \fIalias\fR is processed as described in \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5).

- The `\-user' option with `\-nonormalize' is not entirely accurate,
- as it does not replace local nicknames for hosts with their official
- site names.
