# Preview alias substitutions

Use the client-side command option `--aliases=dry-run` to display the command or commands that would have run without actually running them.

For example, if your alias file contains the following:

    delete-stream $(branch) = stream -d //stream/$(branch) &&
                            obliterate -y //stream/$(branch)...

And you execute the following command:

    p4 --aliases=dry-run delete-stream test1

The command would return:

    p4 stream -d //stream/test1
    p4 obliterate -y //stream/test1
