material and documents to develop wimlib
Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2018 2:36 am
i'm curious about how Eric Biggers(the main author of wimlib) collect materials(such as documents) to develop wimlib.
when I tried to write a simple program deal with wim file, the most detailed document I could find was the white paper(Windows Imaging File Format.rtf,https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=13096). Actually, it doesn't cover enough detail to help me
fully understand wim file, for example the 32bits unknow field after sha1 hash in directory entry structure(i find this by read wimlib source code).
another example is .esd image file, i simplely searched online and i found nothing about this file format.
So i'm so curious about how Eric Biggers had written a so powerful wimlib? Is he collect more documents than me or he dived into the image file and found
details by himself?
