BASH_LOGIN File

A file with the .BASH_LOGIN extension is a file known as Unix Shell Script (bash). It belongs to the Settings Files category. This format is associated with GNU Project.

The reliable way to open a .BASH_LOGIN file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
