Option to change login startup file location

[amarz45]

Currently, the login startup file is located in $home/.rcrc. I would like to put it in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rc/init.rc, similar to how the Fish shell does it. Maybe it should check if an environment variable is set and source it, otherwise source $home/.rcrc. Or perhaps a command-line option.

You can make it use any location you want by editing the source code of main.c and changing
rcrc = concat(varlookup("home"), word("/.rcrc", NULL))->w; to rcrc = /path/to/my/.rcrc
then changing
fd = rc_open(rcrc, rFrom); to fd = open(rcrc, O_CREAT, O_RDWR);
You may have to also add #include <fcntl.h> to access the open function

Then simply recompile and install with sudo make install, just be aware that you can't have rc running or set as login shell when you run the command else it will fail.

Also you may be able to just change
rcrc = concat(varlookup("home"), word("/.rcrc", NULL))->w; to rcrc = concat(varlookup("XDG_CONFIG_HOME"), word("/rc/init.rc", NULL))->w; but I haven't tried that, the other solution works 100% guaranteed tho
