6 wimsplit - Split a WIM archive into multiple parts
7
9 wimsplit WIMFILE SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 PART_SIZE [OPTION...]
10
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
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.
28
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
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.
