    • Korn shell (.kshrc), which is a standard command and programming language. The startup configuration file is .kshrc.

    • Bash shell (.bashrc), which is largely compatible with sh and includes useful features from Korn shell ksh and C shell csh.

    • C shell (.cshrc), which is with a C-like syntax.

    • Z shell (.zshrc), which is similar to ksh with many additions to please csh users and some tcsh features.

    • TC shell (.tcshrc), which is C shell with file name completion and command line editing.
