              print  the  alias  (stable,  testing, unstable) relative to the distribution codename passed as an
              argument.  Only distribution codenames composed of lower case ASCII letters are accepted,  and  if
              the distribution does not qualify as stable, testing or unstable, then the same codename passed as
              argument is returned.

              one of created, release, or eol.  If no milestone is specified, assume release.  For options  that
              return  a  list, display the normal output followed by whitespace and the number of days until the
              specified milestone.  If milestone cannot be calculated,  the  string  '(unknown)'  is  displayed.
              Unless one of -c, -f or -r is specified, only the number of days will be displayed.
