[WINEDOCS] WINEPREFIX and other variables

[Detlef Riekenberg]

Hi

While reading the source to learn how wine works internal, i found some
things not found in the documentation (wine-user.pdf, wine-devel.pdf or
winelib-user.pdf):

environment:
WINEPATH
WINEHOME
WINETEMP
WINETMP

"WINEPREFIX" is not new for me (working with wineprefixcreate), but the
documentation is "rare". 
I found many references for "~/.wine" (winetools is worst case in
this).

Is someone working on the documentation for this?
Target-Documentation for this ?
[IMHO: (wine|winelib)-(user|devel)]

PS: sgml is a black hole for me atm.

Not that I know of.

Probably wine.man, there is already a section there for
environment variables.

These are internal variables used to pass DOS environment strings
through the Unix environment, they are not really meant to be used by
end users.
