serc -- $HOME/.serc -- Se Initialization File The file $HOME/.serc, if it exists, is read when se starts up. If a line begins with a '#', it is treated as a comment and is ignored. It is useful for setting personal options without the user having to type them in on the command line or use a special shell file or alias. Here is a sample .serc file: # turn on unix mode, tabs every 8 columns, auto indent opu ot+8 oia Command line options ALWAYS override any options set by commands in the .serc file.
