Appendix G. A Sample .bashrc File

#===============================================================
#
# PERSONAL $HOME/.bashrc FILE for bash-2.05 (or later)
#
# This file is read (normally) by interactive shells only.
# Here is the place to define your aliases, functions and
# other interactive features like your prompt.
#
# This file was designed (originally) for Solaris.
# --> Modified for Linux.
# This bashrc file is a bit overcrowded - remember it is just
# just an example. Tailor it to your needs 
#

# ALIASES AND FUNCTIONS
#
# Arguably, some functions defined here are quite big
# (ie 'lowercase') but my workstation has 512Meg of RAM, so .....
# If you want to make this file smaller, these functions can
# be converted into scripts.
#
# Many functions were taken (almost) straight from the bash-2.04
# examples.
