**Tcl\_SourceRCFile** is used to source the Tcl rc file at startup. It is typically invoked by Tcl\_Main or Tk\_Main. The name of the file sourced is obtained from the global variable **tcl\_rcFileName** in the interpreter given by *interp*. If this variable is not defined, or if the file it indicates cannot be found, no action is taken.
