    Execute the following shell startup configuration file, which contains shell and other commands to set variables, define aliases, and perform any other initialization:

      .zshrc of zsh, similar to, but not completely compatible with, ksh, with many additions to please csh users and some tcsh features

    For example, 
      shell> source ~userid/.zshrc
    After executing the file, you may exit the shell and re-enter it to have the environment variables and shell options set.

    Unix shell is the command interpreter used to pass commands to an operating system; so called because it is the part of the operating system that interfaces with the outside world. Other shells include:

    • C shell, which is shell command interpreter with a C-like syntax

    • TC shell, which is C shell with file name completion and command line editing

    • Korn shell, which is a standard/restricted command and programming language
