Files used / created by ngspice like .spiceinit
and .ngspice_history
end up cluttering $HOME
.
There could be a way to save those files as described in the specification, maybe with a setting or environmental variable. In this case, .spiceinit
would belong in $HOME/.config/ngspice/
and .ngspice_history
would belong in $HOME/.local/share/ngspice
