<nit> $ man alias No manual entry for alias $ man bash ALIASES Aliases allow a string to be substituted for a word when it is used as the first word of a simple command. </nit> alias is not a standalone, it's part of the shell (in bash at least).

Sometimes there are aliases for bash built-ins that will take you to the manpage. For me, 'man alias' brings up: BASH_BUILTINS(1) Though, I'm using zsh which may be layering something in there.
