Where does Eclipse look for eclipse.ini under Linux

According to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini. If $ECLIPSE_HOME is not defined, the default eclipse.ini in your Eclipse installation directory (or in the case of Mac, the Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS directory) is used.
