What is Bash_profile or .Bashrc?

[NamJam]

I am totally newbie to Linux operating system and I want to know something abiut this operating system as I have just installed the Linux on my machine but does not have much idea about it. I am just asking about Bash_profile or .Bashrc that works on Linux operating system. Can you guys give me proper information about this file?

file. bashrc is located in the directory of the user, for example, Paul and root:
-> / Home / paul / .bashrc
-> / Root / .bashrc
It is normal not to see the file on Unix, files starting with a dot (.) Are hidden, to see them with a 'ls':

  ls-a

For AIX, bash is not the default shell. I think it's ksh shell so you should find one. Kshrc logically the same location as previously.

It is writing a file. Basrhc ideal with all functions and all the aliases that you seem indispensable. I begin with a minimum and some things I've already written and then I'll add your name to your parties as and comments. Small note on. Bashrc: the file ~ /. Bashrc is read by bash when it starts in interactive mode (basically every new graphics terminal and each time you type the bash command without parameters). When connecting to a machine (console or ssh not), the shell is started as a login and it reads. Bash_profile instead.

To have a common environment in all cases, I advise you to add the following lines in your. Bash_profile

 if [-f ~ /. bashrc]; Then
     .  ~ /. Bashrc
 fi

And if you're in a script or a bash-c and would like that. Bashrc is taken into account using the-i option

 $ Bash-i-c "ll"

Note that if you want to have these lines available to all users of the system, write them to / etc / bash.bashrc. Also note that debian offers example of putting all the aliases in a separate file:. Bash_aliases or .Bashrc
