How to use function Alias in PowerShell?

Like the Parameter alias, we can also set the function alias name to refer to the function as a different name.

Example

function Test-NewConnection{
   [CmdletBinding()]
   [Alias("TC")]
   param(
      [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
      [String]$Server
   )
   Write-Output "Testing $server connection"
}

Now, instead of the Test-NewConnection function name, you can directly use the function alias “TC” as shown below.

PS C:\> Tc -Server "Test1-win2k16"
Testing Test1-win2k16 connection
