3 * @brief External header for wimlib.
5 * This file contains comments for generating documentation with Doxygen. The
6 * built HTML documentation can be viewed at http://wimlib.net/apidoc. Make
7 * sure to see the <a href="modules.html">Modules page</a> to make more sense of
8 * the declarations in this header.
14 * This is the documentation for the library interface of wimlib 1.8.2, a C
15 * library for creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting files in the
16 * Windows Imaging Format. This documentation is intended for developers only.
17 * If you have installed wimlib and want to know how to use the @b wimlib-imagex
18 * program, please see the manual pages and also the <a
19 * href="http://wimlib.net/gitlist/wimlib/blob/master/README">README
22 * @section sec_installing Installing
26 * Download the source code from http://wimlib.net. Install the library by
27 * running <c>configure && make && sudo make install</c>. See the README for
28 * information about configuration options. To use wimlib in your program after
29 * installing it, include wimlib.h and link your program with <c>-lwim</c>.
33 * Download the Windows binary distribution with the appropriate architecture
34 * (i686 or x86_64 --- also called "x86" and "amd64" respectively) from
35 * http://wimlib.net. Link your program with the libwim-15.dll file. Make sure
36 * to also download the source code so you can get wimlib.h, as it is not
37 * included in the binary distribution. If you need to access the DLL from
38 * other programming languages, note that the calling convention is "cdecl".
40 * @section sec_examples Examples
42 * Several examples are located in the "examples" directory of the source
45 * There is also the <a
46 * href="http://wimlib.net/gitlist/wimlib/blob/master/programs/imagex.c"> source
47 * code of <b>wimlib-imagex</b></a>, which is complicated but uses most
48 * capabilities of wimlib.
50 * @section backwards_compatibility Backwards Compatibility
52 * New releases of wimlib are intended to be API/ABI compatible with old
53 * releases, except when the libtool "age" is reset. This most recently
54 * occurred for the v1.4.0 (libwim7), v1.5.0 (libwim9), and v1.7.0 (libwim15)
55 * releases. However, the library is becoming increasingly stable, and the goal
56 * is to maintain the current API/ABI for as long as possible unless there is a
57 * strong reason not to. Even for the v1.7.0 release (libwim15), the changes
58 * were fairly limited.
60 * As with any other library, applications should not rely on internal
61 * implementation details that may be subject to change.
63 * @section sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts Basic WIM handling concepts
65 * wimlib wraps up a WIM file in an opaque ::WIMStruct structure. There are
66 * two ways to create such a structure: wimlib_open_wim(), which opens a WIM
67 * file and creates a ::WIMStruct representing it, and wimlib_create_new_wim(),
68 * which creates a new ::WIMStruct that initially contains no images and does
69 * not yet have a backing on-disk file. See @ref G_creating_and_opening_wims
72 * A WIM file, represented by a ::WIMStruct, contains zero or more images.
73 * Images can be extracted (or "applied") using wimlib_extract_image(), added
74 * (or "captured" or "appended") using wimlib_add_image(), deleted using
75 * wimlib_delete_image(), exported using wimlib_export_image(), and updated or
76 * modified using wimlib_update_image(). However, changes made to a WIM
77 * represented by a ::WIMStruct have no persistent effect until the WIM is
78 * actually written to an on-disk file. This can be done using wimlib_write(),
79 * but if the WIM was originally opened using wimlib_open_wim(), then
80 * wimlib_overwrite() can be used instead. See @ref G_extracting_wims, @ref
81 * G_modifying_wims, and @ref G_writing_and_overwriting_wims for more details.
83 * Note that with this ::WIMStruct abstraction, performing many tasks on WIM
84 * files is a multi-step process. For example, to add, or "append" an image to
85 * an existing stand-alone WIM file in a way similar to <b>wimlib-imagex
86 * append</b>, you must call the following functions:
88 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
89 * 2. wimlib_add_image()
90 * 3. wimlib_overwrite()
92 * This design is very much on purpose as it makes the library more useful in
93 * general by allowing functions to be composed in different ways. For example,
94 * you can make multiple changes to a WIM and commit them all to the backing
95 * file in only one overwrite operation, which is more efficient.
97 * Note: before calling any other function declared in wimlib.h,
98 * wimlib_global_init() can (and in some cases, must) be called. See its
99 * documentation for more details.
101 * @section sec_cleaning_up Cleaning up
103 * After you are done with any ::WIMStruct, you can call wimlib_free() to free
104 * all resources associated with it. Also, when you are completely done with
105 * using wimlib in your program, you can call wimlib_global_cleanup() to free
106 * any other resources allocated by the library.
108 * @section sec_error_handling Error Handling
110 * Most functions in wimlib return 0 on success and a positive
111 * ::wimlib_error_code value on failure. Use wimlib_get_error_string() to get a
112 * string that describes an error code. wimlib also can print error messages to
113 * standard error itself when an error happens, and these may be more
114 * informative than the error code; to enable this, call
115 * wimlib_set_print_errors(). Please note that this is for convenience only,
116 * and some errors can occur without a message being printed. Currently, error
117 * messages and strings (as well as all documentation, for that matter) are only
118 * available in English.
120 * @section sec_encodings Locales and character encodings
122 * To support Windows as well as UNIX-like systems, wimlib's API typically takes
123 * and returns strings of ::wimlib_tchar, which are in a platform-dependent
126 * On Windows, each ::wimlib_tchar is 2 bytes and is the same as a "wchar_t",
127 * and the encoding is UTF-16LE.
129 * On UNIX-like systems, each ::wimlib_tchar is 1 byte and is simply a "char",
130 * and the encoding is the locale-dependent multibyte encoding. I recommend you
131 * set your locale to a UTF-8 capable locale to avoid any issues. Also, by
132 * default, wimlib on UNIX will assume the locale is UTF-8 capable unless you
133 * call wimlib_global_init() after having set your desired locale.

146 * @subsection subsec_non_standalone_wims Non-standalone WIMs
148 * See @ref G_nonstandalone_wims.
150 * @subsection subsec_pipable_wims Pipable WIMs
152 * wimlib supports a special "pipable" WIM format which unfortunately is @b not
153 * compatible with Microsoft's software. To create a pipable WIM, call
154 * wimlib_write(), wimlib_write_to_fd(), or wimlib_overwrite() with
155 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_PIPABLE specified. Pipable WIMs are pipable in both
156 * directions, so wimlib_write_to_fd() can be used to write a pipable WIM to a
157 * pipe, and wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe() can be used to apply an image from
158 * a pipable WIM. wimlib can also transparently open and operate on pipable WIM
159 * s using a seekable file descriptor using the regular function calls (e.g.
160 * wimlib_open_wim(), wimlib_extract_image()).
162 * See the documentation for the <b>--pipable</b> flag of <b>wimlib-imagex
163 * capture</b> for more information about pipable WIMs.
165 * @subsection subsec_thread_safety Thread Safety
167 * A ::WIMStruct is not thread-safe and cannot be accessed by multiple threads
168 * concurrently, even for "read-only" operations such as extraction. However,
169 * users are free to use <i>different</i> ::WIMStruct's from different threads
170 * concurrently. It is even allowed for multiple ::WIMStruct's to be backed by
171 * the same on-disk WIM file, although "overwrites" should never be done in such
174 * In addition, several functions change global state and should only be called
175 * when a single thread is active in the library. These functions are:
177 * - wimlib_global_init()
178 * - wimlib_global_cleanup()
179 * - wimlib_set_memory_allocator()
180 * - wimlib_set_print_errors()
181 * - wimlib_set_error_file()
182 * - wimlib_set_error_file_by_name()
184 * @subsection subsec_limitations Limitations
186 * This section documents some technical limitations of wimlib not already
187 * described in the documentation for @b wimlib-imagex.
189 * - The old WIM format from Vista pre-releases is not supported.
190 * - wimlib does not provide a clone of the @b PEImg tool, or the @b DISM
191 * functionality other than that already present in @b ImageX, that allows you
192 * to make certain Windows-specific modifications to a Windows PE image, such
193 * as adding a driver or Windows component. Such a tool could be implemented
196 * @subsection more_info More information
198 * You are advised to read the README as well as the documentation for
199 * <b>wimlib-imagex</b>, since not all relevant information is repeated here in
200 * the API documentation.

224 * @section sec_adding_images Capturing and adding WIM images
226 * As described in @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts, capturing a new WIM or
227 * appending an image to an existing WIM is a multi-step process, but at its
228 * core is wimlib_add_image() or an equivalent function. Normally,
229 * wimlib_add_image() takes an on-disk directory tree and logically adds it to a
230 * ::WIMStruct as a new image. However, when supported by the build of the
231 * library, there is also a special NTFS volume capture mode (entered when
232 * ::WIMLIB_ADD_FLAG_NTFS is specified) that allows adding the image directly
233 * from an unmounted NTFS volume.
235 * Another function, wimlib_add_image_multisource() is also provided. It
236 * generalizes wimlib_add_image() to allow combining multiple files or directory
237 * trees into a single WIM image in a configurable way.
239 * For maximum customization of WIM image creation, it is also possible to add a
240 * completely empty WIM image with wimlib_add_empty_image(), then update it with
241 * wimlib_update_image(). (This is in fact what wimlib_add_image() and
242 * wimlib_add_image_multisource() do internally.)
244 * Note that some details of how image addition/capture works are documented
245 * more fully in the documentation for <b>wimlib-imagex capture</b>.
247 * @section sec_deleting_images Deleting WIM images
249 * wimlib_delete_image() can delete an image from a ::WIMStruct. But as usual,
250 * wimlib_write() or wimlib_overwrite() must be called to cause the changes to
251 * be made persistent in an on-disk WIM file.
253 * @section sec_exporting_images Exporting WIM images
255 * wimlib_export_image() can copy, or "export", an image from one WIM to
258 * @section sec_other_modifications Other modifications

270 /** @defgroup G_extracting_wims Extracting WIMs
272 * @brief Extract files, directories, and images from a WIM.
274 * wimlib_extract_image() extracts, or "applies", an image from a WIM,
275 * represented by a ::WIMStruct. This normally extracts the image to a
276 * directory, but when supported by the build of the library there is also a
277 * special NTFS volume extraction mode (entered when ::WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NTFS
278 * is specified) that allows extracting a WIM image directly to an unmounted
279 * NTFS volume. Various other flags allow further customization of image
282 * wimlib_extract_paths() and wimlib_extract_pathlist() allow extracting a list
283 * of (possibly wildcard) paths from a WIM image.
285 * wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe() extracts an image from a pipable WIM sent
286 * over a pipe; see @ref subsec_pipable_wims.
288 * Some details of how WIM extraction works are described more fully in the
289 * documentation for <b>wimlib-imagex apply</b> and <b>wimlib-imagex
293 /** @defgroup G_mounting_wim_images Mounting WIM images
295 * @brief Mount and unmount WIM images.
297 * On Linux, wimlib supports mounting images from WIM files either read-only or
298 * read-write. To mount an image, call wimlib_mount_image(). To unmount an
299 * image, call wimlib_unmount_image(). Mounting can be done without root
300 * privileges because it is implemented using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace).
302 * If wimlib is compiled using the <c>--without-fuse</c> flag, these functions
303 * will be available but will fail with ::WIMLIB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED.
305 * Note: if mounting is unsupported, wimlib still provides another way to modify
306 * a WIM image (wimlib_update_image()).
310 * @defgroup G_progress Progress Messages
312 * @brief Track the progress of long WIM operations.
314 * Library users can provide a progress function which will be called
315 * periodically during operations such as extracting a WIM image or writing a
316 * WIM image. A ::WIMStruct can have a progress function of type
317 * ::wimlib_progress_func_t associated with it by calling
318 * wimlib_register_progress_function() or by opening the ::WIMStruct using
319 * wimlib_open_wim_with_progress(). Once this is done, the progress function
320 * will be called automatically during many operations, such as
321 * wimlib_extract_image() and wimlib_write().
323 * Some functions that do not operate directly on a user-provided ::WIMStruct,
324 * such as wimlib_join(), also take the progress function directly using an
325 * extended version of the function, such as wimlib_join_with_progress().
327 * In wimlib v1.7.0 and later, progress functions are no longer just
328 * unidirectional. You can now return ::WIMLIB_PROGRESS_STATUS_ABORT to cause
329 * the current operation to be aborted. wimlib v1.7.0 also added the third
330 * argument to ::wimlib_progress_func_t, which is a user-supplied context.
333 /** @defgroup G_writing_and_overwriting_wims Writing and Overwriting WIMs
335 * @brief Create or update an on-disk WIM file.
337 * wimlib_write() creates a new on-disk WIM file, whereas wimlib_overwrite()
338 * updates an existing WIM file. See @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts for
339 * more information about the API design.
342 /** @defgroup G_nonstandalone_wims Creating and handling non-standalone WIMs
344 * @brief Create and handle non-standalone WIMs, such as split and delta WIMs.
346 * A ::WIMStruct backed by an on-disk file normally represents a fully
347 * standalone WIM archive. However, WIM archives can also be arranged in
348 * non-standalone ways, such as a set of on-disk files that together form a
349 * single "split WIM" or "delta WIM". Such arrangements are fully supported by
350 * wimlib. However, as a result, in such cases a ::WIMStruct created from one
351 * of these on-disk files initially only partially represents the full WIM and
352 * needs to, in effect, be logically combined with other ::WIMStruct's before
353 * performing certain operations, such as extracting files with
354 * wimlib_extract_image() or wimlib_extract_paths(). This is done by calling
355 * wimlib_reference_resource_files() or wimlib_reference_resources(). Note: if
356 * you fail to do so, you may see the error code
357 * ::WIMLIB_ERR_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND; this just indicates that data is not
358 * available because the appropriate WIM files have not yet been referenced.
360 * wimlib_write() can create delta WIMs as well as standalone WIMs, but a
361 * specialized function (wimlib_split()) is needed to create a split WIM.

3781 * This function compares the metadata of the directory tree of the newly added

3785 * checksums copied from the old image. Because of this and because WIM uses

3787 * the WIM is being written or overwritten. Note that these unchanged files
3788 * will still be "archived" and will be logically present in the new image; the

4602 * @param max_block_size
4603 * The maximum compression block size to support. This specifies the
4604 * maximum allowed value for the @p uncompressed_size parameter of
4605 * wimlib_compress() when called using this compressor.
4607 * Usually, the amount of memory used by the compressor will scale in

4609 * wimlib_get_compressor_needed_memory() can be used to query the specific
4610 * amount of memory that will be required.
4612 * This parameter must be at least 1 and must be less than or equal to a
4613 * compression-type-specific limit.
4615 * In general, the same value of @p max_block_size must be passed to
4616 * wimlib_create_decompressor() when the data is later decompressed.
4617 * However, some compression types have looser requirements regarding this.
4618 * @param compression_level
4619 * The compression level to use. If 0, the default compression level (50,
4620 * or another value as set through wimlib_set_default_compression_level())
4621 * is used. Otherwise, a higher value indicates higher compression. The
4622 * values are scaled so that 10 is low compression, 50 is medium
4623 * compression, and 100 is high compression. This is not a percentage;
4624 * values above 100 are also valid.
4626 * Using a higher-than-default compression level can result in a better
4627 * compression ratio, but can significantly reduce performance. Similarly,
4628 * using a lower-than-default compression level can result in better
4629 * performance, but can significantly worsen the compression ratio. The
4630 * exact results will depend heavily on the compression type and what

4632 * non-default compression level, you should run benchmarks to see if it is
4633 * worthwhile for your application.
4635 * The compression level does not affect the format of the compressed data.
4636 * Therefore, it is a compressor-only parameter and does not need to be
4637 * passed to the decompressor.
4639 * Since wimlib v1.8.0, this parameter can be OR-ed with the flag
4640 * ::WIMLIB_COMPRESSOR_FLAG_DESTRUCTIVE. This creates the compressor in a

4643 * modified, whereas if compression does not succeed the input buffer still
4644 * may have been written to but will have been restored exactly to its
