.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBTcl_SourceRCFile\fR 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 \fBtcl_rcFileName\fR in
the interpreter given by \fIinterp\fR.  If this variable is not
defined, or if the file it indicates cannot be found, no action is
taken.
