Wine Sub-Programs

These sub-programs are usually accessible by running ‘wine <wineprogram>’ . With some exceptions, the programs can be also be accessed with just ‘<wineprogram>’ (if Wine was installed in the user’s $PATH), although it is usually safer to use the former invocation.

A complete list of these programs can be found in the source at wine-<version>/programs/
