How to use function Alias in PowerShell?



Like the Parameter alias, we can also set the function alias name to refer to the function as a different name.

Example

function Test-NewConnection{    [CmdletBinding()]    [Alias("TC")]    param(       [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]       [String]$Server    )    Write-Output "Testing $server connection" }

Now, instead of the Test-NewConnection function name, you can directly use the function alias “TC” as shown below.

PS C:\> Tc -Server "Test1-win2k16" Testing Test1-win2k16 connection
