+.SH NAME
+unalias
+\(em remove alias definitions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+unalias \fIalias-name\fR...
+.P
+unalias -a
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR unalias
+utility shall remove the definition for each alias name specified. See
+.IR "Section 2.3.1" ", " "Alias Substitution".
+The aliases shall be removed from the current shell execution
+environment; see
+.IR "Section 2.12" ", " "Shell Execution Environment".
+.SH OPTIONS
+The
+.IR unalias
+utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines".
+.P
+The following option shall be supported:
+.IP "\fB\-a\fP" 10
+Remove all alias definitions from the current shell execution
+environment.
+.SH OPERANDS
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.IP "\fIalias-name\fR" 10
+The name of an alias to be removed.
+.SH STDIN
+Not used.
+.SH "INPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+.IR unalias :
+.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
+unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
+for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
+text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
+multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
+.br
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
+.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
+.IR LC_MESSAGES .
+.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+Not used.
+.SH STDERR
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH "OUTPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
+None.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.IP "\00" 6
+Successful completion.
+.IP >0 6
+One of the
+.IR alias-name
+operands specified did not represent a valid alias definition, or an
+error occurred.
+.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
+Default.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+Since
+.IR unalias
+affects the current shell execution environment, it is generally
+provided as a shell regular built-in.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+The
+.IR unalias
+description is based on that from historical KornShell implementations.
+Known differences exist between that and the C shell. The KornShell
+version was adopted to be consistent with all the other KornShell
+features in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, such as command line editing.
+.P
+The
+.BR \-a
+option is the equivalent of the
+.IR unalias
+* form of the C shell and is provided to address security concerns
+about unknown aliases entering the environment of a user (or
+application) through the allowable implementation-defined predefined
+alias route or as a result of an
+.IR ENV
+file. (Although
+.IR unalias
+could be used to simplify the ``secure'' shell script shown in the
+.IR command
+rationale, it does not obviate the need to quote all command names. An
+initial call to
+.IR unalias
+.BR \-a
+would have to be quoted in case there was an alias for
+.IR unalias .)
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
