💖 WINEBOOT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Wine Programs corner of the manual — this is wineboot, and she is literally the girl who sets up the whole party and then cleans up after everyone goes home 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wineboot — perform Wine initialization, startup, and shutdown tasks 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wineboot [options]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So wineboot does the initial creation and setup of a WINEPREFIX for wine(1). That's the glow-up era. ✨

She can also do a simulated reboot or shutdown to any applications running inside that WINEPREFIX. Like, she walks into the group chat and says "everybody out" 😭💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — displays the help message. iconic, self-explanatory, she's helping 💖
  • -e, --end-session — ends the current session cleanly. no drama, just closure 🫶
  • -f, --force — forces exit for processes that don't exit cleanly. like okay, you had your chance, bye 💅
  • -i, --init — initializes the WINEPREFIX. the origin story 🌱
  • -k, --kill — kills running processes without any cleanup. no cleanup. none. zero. not even a goodbye text. 😭
  • -r, --restart — restart only, and don't do normal startup operations. just the rebooting part, tyvm 🔁
  • -s, --shutdown — shutdown only, and don't reboot. she's leaving and she is NOT coming back tonight 🙈
  • -u, --update — updates the WINEPREFIX. glow-up round two ⭐

💀 BUGS 💀

Bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. fr fr, if something's cursed, tell the tracker, not me 🐛
