There is many ways to do this. One of them is to run your program like this: WINEDEBUG=+file wine notepad Obviously, instead of "notepad" you should use name of your program. You can use grep to filter for particular pattern (for example, if you interested only in files with .txt extension you can run this command: WINEDEBUG=+file wine notepad | grep -i .txt Alternatively you can use strace. For example (this command will work in zsh): strace wine notepad |& grep -i .txt If you are using bash you can use this command instead: strace wine notepad 2>&1| grep -i .txt You should use grep to filter strace output to see only things you interested in: for example extension, path (full or partial) or file related operations (for example "grep -i stat64\(" or "grep -i open\("). I suggest you to play with notepad to understand how it works then try it with your program.
