command to produce lnk file to transfer to windows
Hi all,
I have a problem and I know people here can help. It's not strictly WINE related. Forgive my partial off-topicness.
I'll explain my problem first to avoid "XY Problem" misunderstandings.
I want to be able to produce a file (on Linux) that, when downloaded to a Windows machine and double clicked, will open a (ms office, but it shouldn't matter IIUC) file with a known path (on the local windows machine) preset by the server.
It seems what I'm trying to do is possible if I include the path of the file I want to open (and neither of the other details regarding the volume it's stored in etc) in the lnk file.
I first checked the lnk file format specs trying to generate the file in a python script but that's not my piece of cake (I never wrote code to handle binary files before). Besides, there are many features of that format that I want to ditch, but I still have to grok their flags/fields/lenghts/termination etc.
Then I stumbled upon the winedump utility and some .lnk files created by WINE in my ~/.wine folder.
There must be some function in the WINE codebase that is able to generate a lnk file, but I couldn't find it.
Where is it?
Is it in the form of a command like win's mklink?
If not (and I guess it's a function somewhere if it's not) can you point it to me so that I can write a wrapper command?
