# wimdir(1)

List the files contained in a WIM image

## NAME

wimdir - List the files contained in a WIM image

## SYNOPSIS

**wimdir** *WIMFILE* \[*IMAGE*\] \[*OPTION*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**wimdir**, or equivalently **wimlib-imagex dir**, lists the files and directories contained in the specified image of the Windows Imaging (WIM) archive *WIMFILE*.

*IMAGE* specifies the image in *WIMFILE* to list.  It may be the 1-based index of an image, the name of an image, or the keyword "all" to specify all images.  It may be omitted if **WIMFILE** contains only one image.  You can use [**wiminfo**(1)](/wiminfo/1.md) to list the images contained in *WIMFILE*.

## OPTIONS

- **--path**=*PATH*

  List the files under *PATH* instead of under the root directory.

- **--detailed**

  List detailed information about each file.

- **--one-file-only**

  List information about the specified file only.  Intended for use with both **--path** and **--detailed**.

- **--ref**="*GLOB*"

  File glob of additional WIMs or split WIM parts to reference resources from. This option can be specified multiple times.  This option is only useful when **--detailed** is also specified.

## NOTES

**wimdir** supports split WIMs, but it only works on the first part of the split WIM.

Detailed metadata such as timestamps and data streams is not shown unless the **--detailed** option is used.

## EXAMPLES

List all files and directories in the first image of 'boot.wim':

wimdir boot.wim 1
