🍷 WINEBOOT(1) — wineboot, bestie 💅

okay so real quick, before anything else: this is page WINEBOOT(1) from the Wine Programs manual, and it's literally the page that teaches you how to make a WINEPREFIX exist in the first place. main character energy fr fr 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wineboot — the one that does all your Wine initialization, startup, and shutdown tasks 🧚

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wineboot [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: wineboot is the friend who shows up early and sets everything up before the party. It performs the initial creation and setup of a WINEPREFIX for wine(1). Like, it literally builds the whole vibe from scratch 💖

And it's not just a setup girlie — it can also perform a simulated reboot or shutdown to any applications that are running within the WINEPREFIX. So if you need everything inside to pretend the computer restarted, it's got you. iconic behavior honestly 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — Display help message. that's it, that's the option, she's helpful 🌸
  • -e, --end-session — End the current session cleanly. nice and polite, no mess, we love a graceful exit ✨
  • -f, --force — Force exit for processes that don't exit cleanly. some processes are stubborn and need to be told twice, ngl 😭
  • -i, --init — Initialize the WINEPREFIX. this is the origin story right here 🎀
  • -k, --kill — Kill running processes without any cleanup. no warning, no goodbye, no nothing 💀
  • -r, --restart — Restart only, don't do normal startup operations. just the restart part, nothing extra 🦋
  • -s, --shutdown — Shutdown only, don't reboot. shut it down and stay down, periodt 🫶
  • -u, --update — Update the WINEPREFIX. glow-up time 🔥

🙈 BUGS 🙈

Bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. if you found one, go tell on it — that's literally how it gets fixed 💜

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

wineboot is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through WineHQ, the Wine development headquarters. that's the mothership, bestie 🚀
