What is the global counterpart of ~/.bashrc?
 
Hi:

~/.bashrc gets things done for a user. Is there a bashrc (or some other name) in /etc that does the same as ~/.bashrc but globally?

EDIT: I think it is /etc/profile.

/etc/bashrc

Thanks. However in bash's man page, under FILES, it does not mention it.

Yes, that's because it's not built into Bash. It's just a convention that is widely used; some distros put an /etc/bashrc file for system-wide settings, and they source it from ~/.bashrc with:

Code:
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
  . /etc/bashrc
fi
