The dbx initialization file, .dbxrc, stores dbx commands that are executed each time you start dbx. Typically the file comtains commands that customize your debugging environment, but you can place any dbx commands in the file.

If dbx does not find a .dbxrc file during startup, it switches into .dbxinit compatibility mode, automatically aliasing alias to dalias and reading your .dbxinit file. See alias Command and dbx Startup Sequence for more information. (This is for backward compatibility and may not be supported in future releases.)

You can prevent the startup message "Using .dbxinit compatibility mode. See `help .dbxrc' for more information." by creating a .dbxrc file.
