       The  message's envelope recipient is <EM>local@domain</EM>.  <STRONG>qmail-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>alias</STRONG> records <EM>local@domain</EM> in a  new  <STRONG>Delivered-To</STRONG>  header
       field.   If  exactly  the  same <STRONG>Delivered-To:</STRONG> <EM>local@domain</EM>
       already appears in the  header,  <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG>  bounces  the
       message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.

       The  message's  envelope  sender  is  <EM>sender</EM>.  <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG>
       records <EM>sender</EM> in a new <STRONG>Return-Path</STRONG> header field.

       <EM>homedir</EM> is the user's home directory.  It must be an abso-
       lute directory name.

       <EM>dash</EM>  and  <EM>ext</EM>  identify  the  <STRONG>.qmail</STRONG><EM>dashext</EM>  file used by
       <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG>; see <STRONG>dot-qmail(5)</STRONG>.  Normally  <EM>dash</EM>  is  either
       empty  or  a  lone  hyphen.   If  it is empty, <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG>
       treats a nonexistent <STRONG>.qmail</STRONG><EM>ext</EM> the same way  as  an  empty
       <STRONG>.qmail</STRONG><EM>ext</EM>.

       The  standard  input  for  <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG>  must be a seekable
       file, so that <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG> can read it more than once.
