The '''ALIAS''' clause in the {{KW|DECLARE (non-BASIC statement)|DECLARE}} statement tells the program that you will use a different name than that in the library. This only applies when declaring non-BASIC procedures.
{{PageSyntax}}
::: SUB ''pseudoname'' '''ALIAS ''actualname''''' [(''parameters'')]
{{Parameters}}
* The ''actual name'' is the same procedure name as it is inside of the library.
* The name does not have to be inside of quotes when using [[DECLARE LIBRARY]].
* [[Keywords currently not supported by QB64|QB64 supports ALIAS in DECLARE LIBRARY procedures only!]]
''Example:'' Instead of creating a SUB with the Library statement inside of it, just rename it:
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
{{Cl|DECLARE LIBRARY}}
{{Cl|SUB}} MouseMove {{Cl|ALIAS}} SDL_WarpMouse ({{Cl|BYVAL}} xoffset&, {{Cl|BYVAL}} yoffset&)
{{Cl|DECLARE LIBRARY|END DECLARE}}
{{CodeEnd}}
:''Explanation:'' When a Library procedure is used to represent another procedure name use ALIAS instead. Saves creating a SUB! Just place your name for the procedure first with the actual Library name after ALIAS.
