What does 'rc' mean in dotfile
Sometime I wondered what the rc suffix on dotfiles, like .vimrc, .zshrc,
.bashrc, … I guessed it stands for resource configuration or runtime
configuration. =))
Today I learned that:
The ‘rc’ suffix goes back to Unix’s grandparent, CTSS. It had a command-script feature called “runcom”. Early Unixes used ‘rc’ for the name of the operating system’s boot script, as a tribute to CTSS runcom.
So rc stands for “run commands”
