protontricks: Run Winetricks for a specific game.
$ protontricks ${appid} ${winetricks_args}
try on your machine

This command is used to run the protontricks tool with certain arguments.

  • ${appid} represents the application ID of the game or program for which you want to utilize protontricks. This ID helps protontricks determine which game or program it needs to work with.

  • ${winetricks_args} represents the additional arguments passed to protontricks that specify certain actions or modifications you want to make. These arguments are usually Winetricks commands, which are used to install, configure, or tweak various Windows-specific components, libraries, and settings in the Wine environment.

Together, these variables are used to dynamically provide the necessary input to the protontricks command, making it easier to work with different games or programs by just changing the values of the ${appid} and ${winetricks_args} variables.
