What is the full name of rc file? e.g. bashrc? [duplicate]
According to Wikipedia:
The "rc" naming convention of "rc files" was inspired by the "runcom" facility mentioned above and does not stand for "resource configuration" or "runtime configuration" as is often wrongly guessed.
According to this, 'rc' stands for 'run commands'.
