Questions about the alias command CentOS7

When I use the alias/unalias command everything works fine, I just want to know why I am seeing this.
Where does the alias command store the new alias?
Why do I get the following output if my ~/.bashrc file looks as such...

Code:

[root@localhost profile.d]# alias

alias cp='cp -i'

alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'

alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'

alias grep='grep --color=auto'

alias l.='ls -d .* --color=auto'

alias ll='ls -lZ'

alias ls='ls --color=auto'

alias mv='mv -i'

alias rm='rm -i'

alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde'

Code:

[root@localhost profile.d]# cat ~/.bashrc

# .bashrc



# User specific aliases and functions



alias rm='rm -i'

alias cp='cp -i'

alias mv='mv -i'



# Source global definitions

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

        . /etc/bashrc

fi

When you log on, your shell initializes itself from various system-wide and user-specific scripts, including /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, .bash_profile, .bashrc and others. Aliases may be defined in any of these files, not only .bashrc.

Besides, you can also define aliases on the command line.

It appears your in the /etc/profile.d directory have you looked at its contents? They are "loaded" by /etc/profile which is the system wide configuration and startup script.
