wget: Startup File

 
 6 Startup File
 **************
 
 Once you know how to change default settings of Wget through command
 line arguments, you may wish to make some of those settings permanent.
 You can do that in a convenient way by creating the Wget startup
 file—‘.wgetrc’.
 
    Besides ‘.wgetrc’ is the “main” initialization file, it is convenient
 to have a special facility for storing passwords.  Thus Wget reads and
 interprets the contents of ‘$HOME/.netrc’, if it finds it.  You can find
 ‘.netrc’ format in your system manuals.
 
    Wget reads ‘.wgetrc’ upon startup, recognizing a limited set of
 commands.
