Pipe viewer? What's that? Let me check the post...oh, it's good old pv! Never noticed it had a full name, damn Unix utilities with their short names!

There is a shell built-in called alias.

You can use it to map the short name to the long name if you prefer, although people usually do it the other way around, to save on typing.
