(wget) Wgetrc Syntax

 
 Wgetrc Location
 ===============
 
    When initializing, Wget will look for a "global" startup file,
 `/usr/local/etc/wgetrc' by default (or some prefix other than
 `/usr/local', if Wget was not installed there) 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 `/usr/local/etc/wgetrc' by default).  Fascist
 admins, away!
