💅 WINEPATH(1) — the winepath glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to winepath, a lil gem from the Wine Programs corner of the Wine universe. she's giving translator-girlie energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

winepath — converts Unix paths to and from Win32 paths. that's it, that's the whole personality. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

winepath option {path}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so winepath is this tool that converts a Unix path to and/or from a Win32 path — both the short and long flavours — and it stays compatible with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. no cap, it just does the thing. 🔥

here's the tea on how she behaves when you give her a lot at once: if you pass more than one option, the input paths get printed out in all the formats you specified, and the order is fixed — long, short, Unix, Windows. don't fight it, she's just like that. 💅

and if you give her no option at all? the default output is Unix format. she's lowkey spoiling you. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -u, --unix — converts a Windows path to a Unix path. 🐧
  • -w, --windows — converts a Unix path to a long Windows path. 🪟
  • -l, --long — converts the short Windows path of an existing file or directory into the long format. she only works on stuff that actually exists, bestie. 🙈
  • -s, --short — converts the long Windows path of an existing file or directory into the short format. same deal — the file/dir has to be real. 💀
  • -0 — separates output with a \0 character instead of a newline. perfect for when you're piping into something that chokes on newlines. 🍓
  • -h, --help — shows the winepath help message and exits. classic. ⭐

🧚 BUGS 🧚

bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. please be nice to the devs, they're doing their best. 🥺

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

winepath is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through WineHQ — the Wine development headquarters. yes, she comes bundled, no separate install arc needed. 💜
