DESCRIPTION
       You can use the shared component to create a shortcut to run a tmsh command sequence. The name of the shared
       alias is what you type on the command line to run the command. If the command sequence for which you are
       creating an alias contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. Command aliases are not case-
       sensitive.

       You can create a shared alias that runs multiple commands by entering the command sequences separated by semi-
       colons.

       Shared aliases can be used by all users.

       When a batch mode transaction is active, commands that operate on the shared component are run immediately and
       are not added to the transaction.

       For more information about aliases, see the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) Reference Guide.

EXAMPLES
       create shared save command "save config"

       Creates an alias that saves the running configuration in the stored configuration files from anywhere within
       tmsh.

       create shared stats command "show /sys traffic"

       Creates an alias that displays traffic statistics from anywhere within tmsh.

       create shared nodemonitor command "list /ltm node; list /ltm monitor"

       Creates an alias that displays the Local Traffic Manager nodes and monitors.

       create shared myalias command "show /sys provision ; show /sys license"

       Creates an alias that displays license and provisioning information.

       create shared ltmpool command "list /ltm pool"

       Creates an alias that displays the Local Traffic Manager pools from anywhere within tmsh.

OPTIONS
       command syntax
	    Specifies the command for which you are creating an alias. To create an alias that runs multiple
	    commands, enter the command sequences separated by semi-colons.

       app-service
	    Specifies the name of the application service to which the alias belongs. The default value is none.
	    Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
	    modify or delete the alias. Only the application service can modify or delete the alias.

       description
	    Specifies the purpose of the alias. If you enable cli preference show-alias, tmsh displays the
	    description in context-sensitive help (?).

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
	    syntax.

       name Specifies a name for the alias. This is what you type in tmsh to run the command for which you are
	    creating an alias.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
	    sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
	    a description of regular expression syntax.
