). The program being executed may be passed arguments by adding them on
to the end of the command line invoking
.B wine

the program name and its arguments
.I must
be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
by placing all of them on the command line (such as:

are removed from the command line, which is passed to the windows program. You can use
the Parameter
.I --

.B wine
should stop command line processing. This is needed, if a windows program understands
a option, which is usually interpreted (and thus removed from the command line)
by
.B wine.
For example, if you want to execute
.B wine
with the options
.I --managed --config myapp.winerc
and if
.B wine
should run the program
.I myapp.exe
with the arguments
.I --config my.ini somefile

.B wine:
.PP
.I wine --managed --config myapp.winerc -- myapp.exe --config my.ini somefile

.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
.B wine
makes the environment variables of the shell from which
.B wine
is started accessible to the windows/dos processes started. So use the
appropriate syntax for your shell to enter environment variables you need.
.TP
.I WINEPREFIX
If set, the content of this variable is taken as the name of the directory, where
.B wine
stores its data (usually
.I $HOME/.wine
). This directory contains also the socket, which is used to communicate with the
.I wineserver.
All
.B wine
processes, using the same
.B wineserver
share certain things like registry and shared memory. By setting
.I WINEPREFIX
to different values for different
.B wine
processes, it is possible to run a number of truly independent
.B wine
processes.
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
.B wine
expects a configuration file (
.I @sysconfdir@/wine.conf
), which must conform to the format specified in the
.BR wine.conf (5)
man page. A sample configuration file is wine.ini in the home directory of the
.B wine source archive.
