Why in a UNIX script at the beginning the following line is specified?

#!/bin/csh -f

Regards
 

Re: Beginnning of UNIX script

That line normally tells the machine what shell to use for the script, see here. I don't know what the -f switch does.

-f The shell will start faster, because it will neither search for
nor execute commands from the file .cshrc in the invoker's home
directory. Note: if the environment variable HOME is not set,
fast startup is the default.
