- dot file — (operating system, convention) A Unix application program configuration file. On Unix, files named with a leading dot are not normally shown in directory listings.

Dot files tend to proliferate - with every nontrivial application program defining at least one, a user's home directory can be filled with scores of dot files, without the user really being aware of it. Common examples are .profile, .cshrc, .login, .emacs, .mailrc, .forward, .newsrc, .plan, .rhosts, .sig, .xsession. See also profile, rc file.
