  runwin32

  NAME

    runwin32 - run a Windows win32 command

  SYNOPSIS

    runwin32 cmd [args]

  DESCRIPTION

    The runwin32(1) utility runs a Windows command. The cmd can be any file
    with a .exe extension found in the directories $WINDIR (typically, /dev/
    fs/C/WINNT), $WINDIR/system32, or any built-in command of CMD.EXE. Win32
    commands can be run directly from the Interix shells, but using
    runwin32(1) eliminates the need to change your PATH environment variable
    to include the Windows or Windows system32 directories.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    The runwin32(1) utility exits with the return status of the Win32 utility.
    Note that many Win32 utilities do not provide a return status that is
    useful in an Interix environment.

  NOTES

    The runwin32(1) command does not run DOS or 16-bit Windows applications.
    Programs that require a visible Windows workstation (see wvisible(1)) will
    not run.
