  2. alias (command) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_(command)

    An alias will last for the life of the shell session.

The alias commands may either be written in the config file directly or sourced from a separate file.

  4. Alias (Mac OS) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_(Mac_OS)

    In classic Mac OS System 7 and later, and in macOS, an alias is a small file that represents another object in a local, remote, or removable [1] file system and provides a dynamic link to it; the target object may be moved or renamed, and the alias will still link to it (unless the original file is recreated; such an alias is ambiguous and how it is resolved depends on the version of macOS).

  5. Symbolic link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link

    A symbolic link contains a text string that is automatically interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory. This other file or directory is called the "target". The symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. If a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem

    The filesystem appears as one rooted tree of directories. [1] Instead of addressing separate volumes such as disk partitions, removable media, and network shares as separate trees (as done in DOS and Windows: each drive has a drive letter that denotes the root of its file system tree), such volumes can be mounted on a directory, causing the volume's file system tree to appear as that directory ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace

    At the time the file system is mounted, the handler is registered with the kernel. If a user now issues read/write/stat requests for this newly mounted file system, the kernel forwards these IO-requests to the handler and then sends the handler's response back to the user.
