|bash-3.2-147.4.1 executes /etc/bash.bashrc when invoking an interactive,
|non-login shell yet this is not documented. The man page should mention
|this in its INVOCATION section. I've checked the source code and it's
|hard coded to execute /etc/bash.bashrc (SYS_BASHRC macro)
|
|BSC#959755 - man page on bash needs some clarification.

|Make clear that the files /etc/profile as well as /etc/bash.bashrc may source
|other files as well even if the bash does not.
