Where are the aliases stored?

I've been looking around but I cannot find where are the aliases stored. I need to create a permanent alias like these:

But I don't know where is this file. Looked around the forum but didn't see it. Thanks in advance

Should be in /etc/profiles

I sum up to the question. It could be useful to me too.

The file "profiles" does not exist on the beryl MT3000
Only profile. I don't think is the same file. Not sure.
I don't see the aliases there

I found out how to do it. Hopefully this works for all GL Inet routers
So I noticed from the screenshot above of the profile file, that the ENV variables are on /etc/shinit file.
I opened that file and voilà!
The other aliases are there as well

I added my alias just below the one for "ll" and rebooted. It works!
This probably works with all variables as well to make them permanent... At least until the next OS update...

I can't help but being very happy with myself. Just started my Linux studies in networking this academic year and I'm starting to understand how this works even in very niche linux such as openWRT.

Hope this helps others as this info is not on this forum
