.TH WINEPREFIXCREATE 1 "August 2006" "@PACKAGE_STRING@" "Windows on Unix"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
wineprefixcreate \- create or update the Wine configuration
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI wineprefixcreate\ [options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B wineprefixcreate
|
|
creates or updates a Wine configuration directory. When running Wine,
|
|
the base name of the configuration directory is specified in the
|
|
WINEPREFIX variable, hence the name of this tool.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B wineprefixcreate
|
|
is launched automatically by
|
|
.B wine(1)
|
|
if you don't have an existing configuration. However, it can sometimes
|
|
be useful to run it explicitly to create a different directory, or
|
|
update an existing one.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \--prefix\ directory
|
|
Create the specified directory (or update it if it exists already). If
|
|
this option is not specified,
|
|
.B wineprefixcreate
|
|
defaults to the
|
|
.I WINEPREFIX
|
|
environment variable, or to
|
|
.I $HOME/.wine
|
|
if not set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h, \--help
|
|
Display a usage message.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-q, \--quiet
|
|
Don't display any status messages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-w, \--wait
|
|
Wait for
|
|
.B wineserver
|
|
to save everything before returning. This is necessary for instance if
|
|
you are planning to rename the directory once created; otherwise a
|
|
running server could still try to access the directory under its old
|
|
name.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I WINEPREFIX
|
|
If set, the content of this variable is taken as the name of the directory where
|
|
.B wineprefixcreate
|
|
stores its data (the default is \fI$HOME/.wine\fR). All
|
|
.B wine
|
|
processes using the same prefix 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.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ~/.wine
|
|
Default location for the
|
|
.B wine
|
|
configuration data.
