wget: Wgetrc Location

 
 6.1 Wgetrc Location
 ===================
 
 When initializing, Wget will look for a “global” startup file,
 ‘/etc/wgetrc’ by default and read commands from there, if it exists.
 
    Then it will look for the user’s file.  If the environmental variable
 ‘WGETRC’ is set, Wget will try to load that file.  Failing that, no
 further attempts will be made.
 
    If ‘WGETRC’ is not set, Wget will try to load ‘$HOME/.wgetrc’.
 
    The fact that user’s settings are loaded after the system-wide ones
 means that in case of collision user’s wgetrc _overrides_ the
 system-wide wgetrc (in ‘//etc/wgetrc’ by default).  Fascist admins,
 away!
