Why the directory for kakscript is called `rc`?

I just thought about it and I can’t figure it out. It’s like src but without s. What does rc stand for?

See:

so I guess it’s runtime configuration then

Probably – only mawww would know :slight_smile:

I was in the belief it was resource configuration.

Yes, it’s runtime configuration. It’s the equivalent of vim’s runtime dir.

I`ve always associated rc with “inital config” because it is used that way in some UNIXes.

Funnily enough, none of these pages explain what rc actually stands for :).
