NAME

6       wimsplit - Split a WIM archive into multiple parts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wimsplit WIMFILE SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 PART_SIZE [OPTION...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       wimsplit,  or  equivalently  wimlib-imagex  split,  splits WIMFILE into
13       parts with size at most  PART_SIZE  mebibytes  (power-of-2  megabytes),
14       with  the  first  part  having  the name SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 and the other
15       parts having names numbered in order of the parts.
16
17       wimsplit can split both non-pipable and pipable WIMs.
18

OPTIONS

20       --check
21             Before splitting the WIM, verify its integrity if it contains ex‐
22             tra integrity information.  Also include extra integrity informa‐
23             tion in each split WIM part, even if WIMFILE did not contain it.
24
25       --include-integrity
26             Include extra integrity information in each split WIM part,  i.e.
27             like --check but don't also verify WIMFILE beforehand.

EXAMPLES

30       Splits  the WIM 'windows.wim' into 'windows.swm', 'windows2.swm', 'win‐
31       dows3.swm', etc. where each part is at most 100 MiB:
32
33              wimsplit windows.wim windows.swm 100
34

LIMITATIONS

36       It is possible for the size of the parts to exceed the PART_SIZE given.
37       This is impossible to avoid because the WIM file format provides no way
38       to divide a single file resource among multiple split WIM parts.  So if
39       you,  for  example,  have  a  file  inside the WIM that is 100 MiB com‐
40       pressed, then the split WIM will have at least one part that is 100 MiB
41       in size to contain that file.
