.TH WINESERVER 1 "October 2005" "@PACKAGE_STRING@" "Windows on Unix"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
wineserver \- the Wine server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI wineserver\ [options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
is a daemon process that provides to Wine roughly the same services
|
|
that the Windows kernel provides on Windows.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
is normally launched automatically when starting \fBwine\fR(1), so you
|
|
shouldn't have to worry about it. In some cases however, it can be
|
|
useful to start \fBwineserver\fR explicitly with different options, as
|
|
explained below.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-d\fI[n]\fR, \fB--debug\fI[=n]
|
|
Set the debug level to
|
|
.IR n .
|
|
0 means no debugging information, 1 is the normal level, and 2 is for
|
|
extra verbose debugging. If
|
|
.I n
|
|
is not specified, the default is 1. The debug output will be sent to
|
|
stderr. \fBwine\fR(1) will automatically enable normal level debugging
|
|
when starting \fBwineserver\fR if the +server option is set in the
|
|
WINEDEBUG variable.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-f ", " --foreground
|
|
Make the server remain in the foreground for easier debugging, for
|
|
instance when running it under a debugger.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-h ", " --help
|
|
Display a help message.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-k\fI[n]\fR, \fB--kill\fI[=n]
|
|
Kill the currently running
|
|
.BR wineserver ,
|
|
optionally by sending signal \fIn\fR. If no signal is specified, sends
|
|
a SIGINT first and then a SIGKILL. The instance of \fBwineserver\fR
|
|
that is killed is selected based on the WINEPREFIX environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-p\fI[n]\fR, \fB--persistent\fI[=n]
|
|
Specify the \fBwineserver\fR 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 \fIn\fR is
|
|
in seconds, the default value is 3 seconds. If \fIn\fR is not
|
|
specified, the server stays around forever.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-v ", " --version
|
|
Display version information and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-w ", " --wait
|
|
Wait until the currently running
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
terminates.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I WINEPREFIX
|
|
If set, the content of this variable is taken as the name of the directory where
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
stores its data (the default is \fI$HOME/.wine\fR). All
|
|
.B wine
|
|
processes using the same
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
(i.e.: same user) share certain things like registry, shared memory
|
|
and kernel objects.
|
|
By setting
|
|
.I WINEPREFIX
|
|
to different values for different Wine processes, it is possible to
|
|
run a number of truly independent Wine sessions.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I WINESERVER
|
|
Specifies the path and name of the
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
binary that will be launched automatically by \fBwine\fR. If not set,
|
|
\fBwine\fR will try to load
|
|
.IR @bindir@/wineserver ,
|
|
and if this doesn't exist it will then look for a file named
|
|
\fIwineserver\fR in the path and in a few other likely locations.
|
|
.SH FILES
