interp aliases ?path?

This command returns a Tcl list of the names of all the source commands for aliases defined in the interpreter identified by path.

Or actually, it returns a Tcl list of the alias tokens for aliases defined in the interpreter — these are often the same as the command name you used to create them, but if aliases are being renamed then things can get tricky. Consider:
 % interp alias {} a {} list a 1
 a
 % a
 a 1
 % rename a a1
 % interp alias {} a {} list a 2
 ::a
 % a
 a 2
 % rename a a2
 % interp alias {} a {} list a 3
 ::::a
 % a
 a 3
 % interp aliases {}
 ::::a ::a a
 % interp alias {} a
 list a 1
 % interp alias {} ::a
 list a 2
 % interp alias {} ::::a
 list a 3
