   2 # To correctly use this fileset for zsh, you need to understand the
   3 # order in which stuff is loaded by zsh.
   4 #
   5 # Wherever $ZDOTDIR is unset, $HOME is used instead
   6 #
   7 # 1. /etc/zsh/zshenv             This is not overridable and not affected by the
   8 #                                RCS/GLOBAL_RCS variables explained below!
   9 # 2. $ZDOTDIR/.zshenv
  10 #
  11 # If the shell is a login shell, it continues with
  12 # 3. /etc/zsh/zprofile
  13 # 4. $ZDOTDIR/.zprofile
  14 #
  15 # If the shell is interactive, it continues with
  16 # 5. /etc/zsh/zshrc
  17 # 6. $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc
  18 #
  19 # If the shell is a login shell, it continues with
  20 # 7. /etc/zsh/zlogin
  21 # 8. $ZDOTDIR/zlogin

  25 # On logout it is easier: If the shell exits (not due to exec'ing another
  26 # process, but logout/exit), it reads
  27 #
  28 # 1. $ZDOTDIR/.zlogout
  29 # 2. /etc/zsh/zlogout

  33 # There are 2 variables affecting the above ordering.
  34 #
  35 # RCS         If this is unset, none of the (remaining) startup files
  36 #             are sourced.
  37 # GLOBAL_RCS  If this is unset, none of the startup files in /etc/zsh
  38 #             are sourced.
  39 #
  40 # Note: These variables do NOT affect /etc/zsh/zshenv, which is
  41 #       ALWAYS read!
