 Unix Tip #4561- September  6, 2025
 
QUICK UNALIAS  
  
If you have aliased a command to somehting and want to quickly  
unalias it, preceed the name with a backslash, '\', and it  
will have the original meaning. For example, if you have 'rm'  
aliased to 'rm -i' and want to remove one entire directory without  
being prompted for each file, you would do:  
  
$ 
m -fr dirname  
  
where 'dirname' is the directory you want to trash.
