NAME
wimsplit - Split a WIM archive into multiple parts
SYNOPSIS
wimsplit WIMFILE SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 PART_SIZE [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
wimsplit, or equivalently wimlib-imagex split, splits WIMFILE into parts with size at most PART_SIZE mebibytes (power-of-2 megabytes), with the first part having the name SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 and the other parts having names numbered in order of the parts.
wimsplit can split both non-pipable and pipable WIMs.
OPTIONS
- --check
-
Before splitting the WIM, verify its integrity if it contains extra integrity information. Also include extra integrity information in each split WIM part, even if WIMFILE did not contain it.
- --include-integrity
-
Include extra integrity information in each split WIM part, i.e. like --check but don't also verify WIMFILE beforehand.
EXAMPLES
Splits the WIM 'windows.wim' into 'windows.swm', 'windows2.swm', 'windows3.swm', etc. where each part is at most 100 MiB:
wimsplit windows.wim windows.swm 100
LIMITATIONS
It is possible for the size of the parts to exceed the PART_SIZE given. This is impossible to avoid because the WIM file format provides no way to divide a single file resource among multiple split WIM parts. So if you, for example, have a file inside the WIM that is 100 MiB compressed, then the split WIM will have at least one part that is 100 MiB in size to contain that file.
