   9 .SH DESCRIPTION
  10 .I Ali
  11 searches the mail alias file for each of the given
  12 \fIname\fRs.
  13 It creates a list of users for whom those
  14 \fIname\fRs
  15 are aliases, and writes that list on standard output.
  16 If the
  17 .B \-l
  18 option is specified, each username appears on a separate line;
  19 otherwise, the names are separated by commas and printed on
  20 as few lines as possible.  Usernames are not repeated on the
  21 output list.
  22 .PP
  23 Each
  24 .I name
  25 is processed as described in mh-alias(5).  After
  26 processing, any resulting names that do not appear
  27 in the password file are printed with an error message.
