PowerShell alias with parameters?

bash/sh alias can include parameters, i.e. "alias kaf='kubectl alias -f"

PowerShell set-alias (sal) is only alias for a command/program.

Set-Alias (Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility) - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn

to include parameters would need to create a function, and store it in "profile"

notepad $profile



PS> function docmd { cmd /c $args there }
PS> docmd echo hello
