97 """Define an alias for a system command.
99 '%alias alias_name cmd' defines 'alias_name' as an alias for 'cmd'
101 Then, typing 'alias_name params' will execute the system command 'cmd
102 params' (from your underlying operating system).
104 Aliases have lower precedence than magic functions and Python normal
105 variables, so if 'foo' is both a Python variable and an alias, the
106 alias can not be executed until 'del foo' removes the Python variable.
108 You can use the %l specifier in an alias definition to represent the
109 whole line when the alias is called. For example::
111 In [2]: alias bracket echo "Input in brackets: <%l>"
112 In [3]: bracket hello world
113 Input in brackets: <hello world>
115 You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one
116 per parameter)::
118 In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
119 In [2]: %parts A B
120 first A second B
121 In [3]: %parts A
122 Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
123 parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'
125 Note that %l and %s are mutually exclusive. You can only use one or
126 the other in your aliases.
128 Aliases expand Python variables just like system calls using ! or !!
129 do: all expressions prefixed with '$' get expanded. For details of
130 the semantic rules, see PEP-215:
131 https://peps.python.org/pep-0215/. This is the library used by
132 IPython for variable expansion. If you want to access a true shell
133 variable, an extra $ is necessary to prevent its expansion by
134 IPython::
136 In [6]: alias show echo
137 In [7]: PATH='A Python string'
138 In [8]: show $PATH
139 A Python string
140 In [9]: show $$PATH
141 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
143 You can use the alias facility to access all of $PATH. See the %rehashx
144 function, which automatically creates aliases for the contents of your
145 $PATH.
147 If called with no parameters, %alias prints the current alias table
148 for your system. For posix systems, the default aliases are 'cat',
149 'cp', 'mv', 'rm', 'rmdir', and 'mkdir', and other platform-specific
150 aliases are added. For windows-based systems, the default aliases are
151 'copy', 'ddir', 'echo', 'ls', 'ldir', 'mkdir', 'ren', and 'rmdir'.
153 You can see the definition of alias by adding a question mark in the
154 end::
156 In [1]: cat?
157 Repr: <alias cat for 'cat'>"""

303 you visit during your IPython session, in the variable ``_dh``. The
304 command :magic:`%dhist` shows this history nicely formatted. You can
305 also do ``cd -<tab>`` to see directory history conveniently.
306 Usage:
308 - ``cd 'dir'``: changes to directory 'dir'.
309 - ``cd -``: changes to the last visited directory.
310 - ``cd -<n>``: changes to the n-th directory in the directory history.
311 - ``cd --foo``: change to directory that matches 'foo' in history
312 - ``cd -b <bookmark_name>``: jump to a bookmark set by %bookmark
313 - Hitting a tab key after ``cd -b`` allows you to tab-complete
314 bookmark names.
316 .. note::
317 ``cd <bookmark_name>`` is enough if there is no directory
318 ``<bookmark_name>``, but a bookmark with the name exists.
320 Options:
322 -q Be quiet. Do not print the working directory after the
323 cd command is executed. By default IPython's cd
324 command does print this directory, since the default
325 prompts do not display path information.
327 .. note::
328 Note that ``!cd`` doesn't work for this purpose because the shell
329 where ``!command`` runs is immediately discarded after executing
330 'command'.

583 IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
584 will then update the user's interactive namespace with a variable
585 called varname, containing the value of the call. Your command can
586 contain shell wildcards, pipes, etc.
588 The '=' sign in the syntax is mandatory, and the variable name you
589 supply must follow Python's standard conventions for valid names.
591 (A special format without variable name exists for internal use)
593 Options:
595 -l: list output. Split the output on newlines into a list before
596 assigning it to the given variable. By default the output is stored
597 as a single string.
599 -v: verbose. Print the contents of the variable.
601 In most cases you should not need to split as a list, because the
602 returned value is a special type of string which can automatically
603 provide its contents either as a list (split on newlines) or as a
604 space-separated string. These are convenient, respectively, either
605 for sequential processing or to be passed to a shell command.
607 For example::
609 # Capture into variable a
610 In [1]: sc a=ls *py
612 # a is a string with embedded newlines
613 In [2]: a
614 Out[2]: 'setup.py\\nwin32_manual_post_install.py'
616 # which can be seen as a list:
617 In [3]: a.l
618 Out[3]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
620 # or as a whitespace-separated string:
621 In [4]: a.s
622 Out[4]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
624 # a.s is useful to pass as a single command line:
625 In [5]: !wc -l $a.s
626 146 setup.py
627 130 win32_manual_post_install.py
628 276 total
630 # while the list form is useful to loop over:
631 In [6]: for f in a.l:
632 ...: !wc -l $f
633 ...:
634 146 setup.py
635 130 win32_manual_post_install.py
637 Similarly, the lists returned by the -l option are also special, in
638 the sense that you can equally invoke the .s attribute on them to
639 automatically get a whitespace-separated string from their contents::
641 In [7]: sc -l b=ls *py
643 In [8]: b
644 Out[8]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
646 In [9]: b.s
647 Out[9]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
649 In summary, both the lists and strings used for output capture have
650 the following special attributes::

686 IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
687 return the result formatted as a list (split on '\\n'). Since the
688 output is _returned_, it will be stored in ipython's regular output
689 cache Out[N] and in the '_N' automatic variables.
691 Notes:
693 1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically
694 invoked. That is, while::
696 !ls
698 causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing::
700 !!ls
702 is a shorthand equivalent to::
704 %sx ls
706 2) %sx differs from %sc in that %sx automatically splits into a list,
707 like '%sc -l'. The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible
708 to process line-oriented shell output via further python commands.
709 %sc is meant to provide much finer control, but requires more
710 typing.
712 3) Just like %sc -l, this is a list with special attributes:
713 ::
715 .l (or .list) : value as list.
716 .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
717 .s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.
