Ok.
Did you try this:
With name specified without =value, print the specified alias.
With -t, set tracked aliases. The value of a tracked alias is
the full path name corresponding to the given name. The value of
a tracked alias becomes undefined when the value of PATH is
reset, but the alias remains tracked. With name=value omitted,
print the list of tracked aliases in the form name=pathname on
standard output.
With -x, set exported aliases. An exported alias is defined
across subshell environments. With name=value omitted, print the
list of exported aliases in the form name=value on standard
output.
Alias returns true unless a name is given for which no alias has
been defined.
Hope this helps,
