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.
