The Alias attribute

Like CmdletBinding, the Alias attribute may be placed preceding the param block. It may be used before or after CmdletBinding; the ordering of attributes does not matter.

The Alias attribute is used to optionally create aliases for a function. A function can have one or more aliases; the attribute accepts either a single value or an array of values. For example, you can create an alias gsm for the function Get-Something via the following attribute:

function Get-Something {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [Alias('gsm')]
    param ( )
}

The body of a function may use named blocks, such as begin, process, and end, to control how code executes.
