([alias namespace-sym])

Add an alias in the current namespace to another namespace. Arguments are two symbols: the alias to be used, and the symbolic name of the target namespace. Use :as in the ns macro in preference to calling this directly.

Examples

;; The alias can also be created when the ;; namespace is required using the :as keyword. (require '[clojure.string :as string]) (string/capitalize "hONdURas") ;;=> "Honduras"
