Hi there.
i just stumbled upon this awesome program.
I have a few question to it. I already read the man pages, but they wheren't clear on this.
1. Is there a way to open wim file via stdin?
I have a few compressed wim files (with a another compressor) which i would like to extract on the fly. (sorta like a tar with gzip file in the unix world)
2. Is it possible to create a uncompressed wim file?
I tried to create a wim file without the compress option and it created a compressed file.
I currently create wim files with 7-Zip, which will be compressed as a 2nd step with it afterwards.
3. Is it possible to create a new wim file as a split volume image?
Or do i have to create a wim file first and split it as a 2nd step?
Thanks,
Gillian

Re: A few question on wim usage
Only if the WIM file was created in the "pipable" format, which is only supported by wimlib and is not the default.1. Is there a way to open wim file via stdin?
Yes, just use --compress=none.2. Is it possible to create a uncompressed wim file?
No, you must create a single-part WIM file first then use 'wimsplit'.3. Is it possible to create a new wim file as a split volume image?
