WINESERVER(1)			Windows	on Unix			 WINESERVER(1)

NAME
       wineserver - the	Wine server

SYNOPSIS
       wineserver [options]

DESCRIPTION
       wineserver  is  a daemon	process	that provides to Wine roughly the same
       services	that the Windows kernel	provides on Windows.

       wineserver is normally launched automatically when starting wine(1), so
       you shouldn't have to worry about it. In	some cases however, it can  be
       useful  to  start  wineserver explicitly	with different options,	as ex-
       plained below.

OPTIONS
       -d[n], --debug[=n]
	      Set the debug level to n.	 0 means no debugging  information,  1
	      is  the normal level, and	2 is for extra verbose debugging. If n
	      is not specified,	the default is 1. The  debug  output  will  be
	      sent  to	stderr.	wine(1)	will automatically enable normal level
	      debugging	when starting wineserver if the	+server	option is  set
	      in the WINEDEBUG variable.

       -f, --foreground
	      Make  the	 server	remain in the foreground for easier debugging,
	      for instance when	running	it under a debugger.

       -h, --help
	      Display a	help message.

       -k[n], --kill[=n]
	      Kill the currently running  wineserver,  optionally  by  sending
	      signal  n.  If  no signal	is specified, sends a SIGINT first and
	      then a SIGKILL.  The instance of wineserver that	is  killed  is
	      selected based on	the WINEPREFIX environment variable.

       -p[n], --persistent[=n]
	      Specify  the  wineserver	persistence  delay, i.e. the amount of
	      time that	the server will	keep running when all client processes
	      have terminated. This avoids  the	 cost  of  shutting  down  and
	      starting	again  when programs are launched in quick succession.
	      The timeout n is in seconds, the default value is	3 seconds.  If
	      n	is not specified, the server stays around forever.

       -v, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

       -w, --wait
	      Wait until the currently running wineserver terminates.

ENVIRONMENT
       WINEPREFIX
	      If set, the content of this variable is taken as the name	of the
	      directory	 where	wineserver  stores  its	 data  (the default is
	      $HOME/.wine). All	 wine  processes  using	 the  same  wineserver
	      (i.e.:  same  user)  share  certain things like registry,	shared
	      memory and kernel	objects.  By setting WINEPREFIX	 to  different
	      values  for  different  Wine  processes, it is possible to run a
	      number of	truly independent Wine sessions.

FILES
       ~/.wine
	      Directory	containing user	specific data managed by wine.

       /tmp/.wine-uid
	      Directory	containing the server Unix socket and the  lock	 file.
	      These  files  are	 created  in a subdirectory generated from the
	      WINEPREFIX directory device and inode numbers.

AUTHORS
       The original author of wineserver is  Alexandre	Julliard.  Many	 other
       people  have  contributed  new  features	 and bug fixes.	For a complete
       list, see the git commit	logs.

BUGS
       Bugs can	be reported on the Wine	bug tracker <https://bugs.winehq.org>.

AVAILABILITY
       wineserver is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through
       WineHQ, the Wine	development headquarters <https://www.winehq.org/>.
