nope it doesn't . I have edited the question so it makes it more explicit that I am using define just as an alias and not as a function. Hope that makes it clearer above.shirish– shirish2020-02-12 19:49:26 +00:00Commented Feb 12, 2020 at 19:49

2Use a function. Aliases can't take arguments, as you appear to try to do. The answers to the question that jesse_b linked to explains this in detail.Kusalananda– Kusalananda ♦2020-02-12 19:51:13 +00:00Commented Feb 12, 2020 at 19:51

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
