These are treated as “hidden” files and usually not listed by default in most tools unless an extra flag is provided, a “show hidden files” checkbox is checked or some similar mechanism. Additionally, the term dotfiles is nowadays often used to describe a specific collection of these files: the ones that contain a user’s configuration associated helper scripts and some other related files.
