wget: Wgetrc Location

1 
1 6.1 Wgetrc Location
1 ===================
1 
1 When initializing, Wget will look for a “global” startup file,
1 ‘/etc/wgetrc’ by default (or some prefix other than ‘/etc’, if Wget was
1 not installed there) and read commands from there, if it exists.
1 
1    Then it will look for the user’s file.  If the environmental variable
1 ‘WGETRC’ is set, Wget will try to load that file.  Failing that, no
1 further attempts will be made.
1 
1    If ‘WGETRC’ is not set, Wget will try to load ‘$HOME/.wgetrc’.
1 
1    The fact that user’s settings are loaded after the system-wide ones
1 means that in case of collision user’s wgetrc _overrides_ the
1 system-wide wgetrc (in ‘/etc/wgetrc’ by default).  Fascist admins, away!
