wineserver

WINESERVER(1)							  Windows on Unix						     WINESERVER(1)

NAME

       wineserver - the Wine server

SYNOPSIS

       wineserver [options]

DESCRIPTION

       wineserver is a daemon process that provides to Wine roughly the same services that the Windows kernel provides on Windows.

       wineserver is normally launched automatically when starting wine(1), so you shouldn't have to worry about it. In some cases however, it can
       be useful to start wineserver explicitly with different options, as explained below.

OPTIONS

       -d[n], --debug[=n]
	      Set the debug level to n.  0 means no debugging information, 1 is the normal level, and 2 is for extra verbose debugging.  If  n	is
	      not specified, the default is 1. The debug output will be sent to stderr. wine(1) will automatically set the debug level when start-
	      ing wineserver if the +server option is set in the WINEDEBUG variable.

       -f, --foreground
	      Make the server remain in the foreground for easier debugging, for instance when running it under a debugger.

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message.

       -k[n], --kill[=n]
	      Kill the currently running wineserver, optionally by sending signal n. If no signal is specified, sends a SIGINT first  and  then  a
	      SIGKILL.	The instance of wineserver that is killed is selected based on the WINEPREFIX environment variable.

       -p[n], --persistent[=n]
	      Specify  the  wineserver persistence delay, i.e. the amount of time that the server will keep running when all client processes have
	      terminated. This avoids the cost of shutting down and starting again when programs are launched in quick succession. The	timeout  n
	      is in seconds, the default value is 3 seconds. If n is not specified, the server stays around forever.

       -v, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

       -w, --wait
	      Wait until the currently running wineserver terminates.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       WINEPREFIX
	      If  set,	the  content  of  this	variable  is  taken  as the name of the directory where wineserver stores its data (the default is
	      $HOME/.wine). All wine processes using the same wineserver (i.e.: same user) share certain things like registry, shared  memory  and
	      kernel  objects.	 By  setting  WINEPREFIX to different values for different Wine processes, it is possible to run a number of truly
	      independent Wine sessions.

       WINESERVER
	      Specifies the path and name of the wineserver binary that will be launched automatically by wine. If not set, wine will try to  load
	      /usr/bin/wineserver,  and  if this doesn't exist it will then look for a file named wineserver in the path and in a few other likely
	      locations.

FILES

       ~/.wine
	      Directory containing user specific data managed by wine.

       /tmp/.wine-uid
	      The directory containing the server Unix socket and the lock file. These files are created in  a	subdirectory  generated  from  the
	      WINEPREFIX directory device and inode numbers.

AUTHORS

       The  original  author  of wineserver is Alexandre Julliard. Many other people have contributed new features and bug fixes. Please check the
       file Changelog in the Wine distribution for the complete details.

       If you find a bug, please submit a bug report at http://bugs.winehq.org.  <http://bugs.winehq.org>
