6 wiminfo - Display or change information about a WIM file or image
7
9 wiminfo WIMFILE [IMAGE [NEW_NAME [NEW_DESC]]] [OPTION...]
10
12 wiminfo, or equivalently wimlib-imagex info, displays information about
13 WIMFILE or the specified IMAGE in it, and optionally changes properties
14 of IMAGE such as its name and description, or changes the bootable im‐
15 age of the WIM.
16
17 If neither an image nor any flags other than --check are specified,
18 then basic information about the WIM and the images contained in it is
19 shown. If an image is specified by IMAGE (as a 1-based image index or
20 an image name), then the information is restricted to that concerning
21 the specified image.
22
23 Changes to the WIM are made if NEW_NAME and/or --boot and/or --image-
24 property are specified. NEW_NAME is taken to be the new name of the
25 image specified by IMAGE while NEW_DESC is taken to be its new descrip‐
26 tion. If NEW_DESC is not specified, then the image's description is
27 not changed.
28
29 wiminfo does not support modifying a split WIM, although you may dis‐
30 play information about one, including any of its parts.
31
33 --boot
34 Mark the specified IMAGE as the "bootable" image of the WIM. The
35 "bootable" image is the image which the Windows bootloader will
36 use when loading Windows PE from the WIM.
37
38 --check
39 Verify the integrity of WIM if it contains extra integrity infor‐
40 mation. In addition, if modifying the WIM, add extra integrity
41 information if it was not present before.
42
43 --nocheck
44 If modifying the WIM, remove its extra integrity information, if
45 it had any.
46
47 --include-integrity
48 If modifying the WIM, add extra integrity information if it was
49 not present before, i.e. like --check but don't also do the veri‐
50 fication beforehand.
51
52 --image-property NAME=VALUE
53 Assign an arbitrary property to the specified IMAGE in the XML
54 document of the WIM. NAME is an element path such as "WIN‐
55 DOWS/VERSION/MAJOR", and VALUE is the string to place in the ele‐
56 ment, such as "10". See the documentation for this option to
57 wimcapture(1) for more details. This option may be specified
58 multiple times.
59
60 --header
61 Show detailed information from the WIM header.
62
