How is a Windows executable file run via wine?
When running a python script from bash, there is only one process created, which actually runs the python interpreter which then interprets the script.
When running a Windows executable file by wine from bash, how many processes are created and involved?
Is wine run as a server process, and the Windows executable file is run as its client?
From ps -f, I see that in the full command line that runs a Windows executable file, the command name is the Windows executable filename, not wine, unlike running a python script, where /usr/bin/python is the command name and the script is its argument.
But without wine, a windows executable file can be run on Linux.
So how shall I understand the "contradiction"?
Thanks.
