WINEPATH(1)

📦 version 6.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 WINEPATH(1) — the Wine Programs glow-up 💖

okay bestie, listen. this is the winepath manual page, straight out of the Wine Programs section, and honestly? it's giving translator-girlie energy and we're obsessed. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

winepath — the tool that converts Unix paths to/from Win32 paths. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

winepath option {path}

like, you hand it an option and a path and it does the thing. iconic behavior fr fr. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so winepath is literally a tool to convert a Unix path to/from a Win32 (short/long) path that's compatible with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. yes bestie, it speaks both languages. bilingual queen. 👑

here's the tea on how it behaves when you get greedy with the options: if more than one option is given, then the input paths are output in all formats specified, in this exact order — long, short, Unix, Windows. no cap, that's the order. don't come for me, I don't make the rules.

and if you give it no option at all? the default output is Unix format. slay, it just picks for you. 🌸

✨ OPTIONS ✨

one bullet per flag, no skips, we're thorough in this house 🫶

  • -u, --unix — converts a Windows path to a Unix path. windows ➡️ unix, the classic glow-down-to-glow-up.
  • -w, --windows — converts a Unix path to a long Windows path. unix ➡️ long windows, periodt.
  • -l, --long — converts the short Windows path of an existing file or directory to the long format. note the existing file or directory part bestie, it has to actually be there. 💀
  • -s, --short — converts the long Windows path of an existing file or directory to the short format. same deal, the file/dir has to exist. no ghost paths allowed. 👻
  • -0 — separates output with a \0 character instead of a newline. yes, that's a zero, not an "oh". she's giving null-terminated main character energy. ⭐
  • -h, --help — shows the winepath help message and then exits. the "hey bestie, here's how I work" button. 🙈

✨ BUGS ✨

found a bug? 😭 not the vibe, but it happens. bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. go tell the devs, they'll handle it. 💜

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

winepath is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through WineHQ, the Wine development headquarters. so like, that's where you get it. that's the source. 🏰
