.cshrc

Unix C shell startup configuration file found in the home or root directory. The C shell startup configuration file can contain or perform such functions as set variables, define aliases, perform initializations and other tasks.

Users who are more familiar with Microsoft Windows or Microsoft DOS can relate the autoexec.bat and the config.sys files to the .cshrc file.
