16 searches the named mail alias files for each of the given \fIaliases\fR.
17 It creates a list of addresses for those \fIaliases\fR,
18 and writes that list on standard output.
19 If the `\-list' option is specified, each address appears on a separate line;
20 otherwise, the addresses are separated by commas and printed on

30 The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any
31 additional alias files given by the `\-alias aliasfile' switch will be read.
32 Each \fIalias\fR is processed as described in \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5).
