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 https://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 1.13.3, a C
15 * library for creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting files in the
16 * Windows Imaging (WIM) format. This documentation is intended for developers
17 * only. If you have installed wimlib and want to know how to use the @b
18 * wimlib-imagex program, please see the manual pages and also the <a
19 * href="https://wimlib.net/git/?p=wimlib;a=blob;f=README">README file</a>.
21 * @section sec_installing Installing
25 * Download the source code from https://wimlib.net. Install the library by
26 * running <c>configure && make && sudo make install</c>. See the README for
27 * information about configuration options. To use wimlib in your program after
28 * installing it, include wimlib.h and link your program with <c>-lwim</c>.
32 * Download the Windows binary distribution with the appropriate architecture
33 * (i686 or x86_64 --- also called "x86" and "amd64" respectively) from
34 * https://wimlib.net. Link your program with libwim-15.dll. If needed by your
35 * programming language or development environment, the import library
36 * libwim.lib and C/C++ header wimlib.h can be found in the directory "devel" in
39 * If you need to access the DLL from non-C/C++ programming languages, note that
40 * the calling convention is "cdecl".
42 * If you want to build wimlib from source on Windows, see README.WINDOWS. This
43 * is only needed if you are making modifications to wimlib.
45 * @section sec_examples Examples
47 * Several examples are located in the "examples" directory of the source
48 * distribution. Also see @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts below.
50 * There is also the <a
51 * href="https://wimlib.net/git/?p=wimlib;a=blob;f=programs/imagex.c">
52 * source code of <b>wimlib-imagex</b></a>, which is complicated but uses most
53 * capabilities of wimlib.
55 * @section backward_compatibility Backward Compatibility
57 * New releases of wimlib are intended to be backward compatible with old
58 * releases, except when the libtool "age" is reset. This most recently
59 * occurred for the v1.7.0 (libwim15) release (June 2014). Since the library is
60 * becoming increasingly stable, the goal is to maintain the current API/ABI for
61 * as long as possible unless there is a strong reason not to.
63 * As with any other library, applications should not rely on internal
64 * implementation details that may be subject to change.
66 * @section sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts Basic WIM handling concepts
68 * wimlib wraps up a WIM file in an opaque ::WIMStruct structure. There are
69 * two ways to create such a structure:
71 * 1. wimlib_open_wim() opens an on-disk WIM file and creates a ::WIMStruct for
73 * 2. wimlib_create_new_wim() creates a new ::WIMStruct that initially contains
74 * no images and does not yet have a backing on-disk file.
76 * A ::WIMStruct contains zero or more independent directory trees called @a
77 * images. Images may be extracted, added, deleted, exported, and updated using
78 * various API functions. (See @ref G_extracting_wims and @ref G_modifying_wims
81 * Changes made to a WIM represented by a ::WIMStruct have no persistent effect
82 * until the WIM is actually written to an on-disk file. This can be done using
83 * wimlib_write(), but if the WIM was originally opened using wimlib_open_wim(),
84 * then wimlib_overwrite() can be used instead. (See @ref
85 * G_writing_and_overwriting_wims for more details.)
87 * wimlib's API is designed to let you combine functions to accomplish tasks in
88 * a flexible way. Here are some example sequences of function calls:
90 * Apply an image from a WIM file, similar to the command-line program
93 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
94 * 2. wimlib_extract_image()
96 * Capture an image into a new WIM file, similar to <b>wimcapture</b>:
98 * 1. wimlib_create_new_wim()
99 * 2. wimlib_add_image()
102 * Append an image to an existing WIM file, similar to <b>wimappend</b>:
104 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
105 * 2. wimlib_add_image()
106 * 3. wimlib_overwrite()
108 * Delete an image from an existing WIM file, similar to <b>wimdelete</b>:
110 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
111 * 2. wimlib_delete_image()
112 * 3. wimlib_overwrite()
114 * Export an image from one WIM file to another, similar to <b>wimexport</b>:
116 * 1. wimlib_open_wim() (on source)
117 * 2. wimlib_open_wim() (on destination)
118 * 3. wimlib_export_image()
119 * 4. wimlib_overwrite() (on destination)
121 * The API also lets you do things the command-line tools don't directly allow.
122 * For example, you could make multiple changes to a WIM before efficiently
123 * committing the changes with just one call to wimlib_overwrite(). Perhaps you
124 * want to both delete an image and add a new one; or perhaps you want to
125 * customize an image with wimlib_update_image() after adding it. All these use
126 * cases are supported by the API.
128 * @section sec_cleaning_up Cleaning up
130 * After you are done with any ::WIMStruct, you can call wimlib_free() to free
131 * all resources associated with it. Also, when you are completely done with
132 * using wimlib in your program, you can call wimlib_global_cleanup() to free
133 * any other resources allocated by the library.
135 * @section sec_error_handling Error Handling
137 * Most functions in wimlib return 0 on success and a positive
138 * ::wimlib_error_code value on failure. Use wimlib_get_error_string() to get a
139 * string that describes an error code. wimlib also can print error messages to
140 * standard error or a custom file when an error occurs, and these may be more
141 * informative than the error code; to enable this, call
142 * wimlib_set_print_errors(). Please note that this is for convenience only,
143 * and some errors can occur without a message being printed. Currently, error
144 * messages and strings (as well as all documentation, for that matter) are only
145 * available in English.
147 * @section sec_encodings Character encoding
149 * To support Windows as well as UNIX-like systems, wimlib's API typically takes
150 * and returns strings of ::wimlib_tchar which have a platform-dependent type
153 * On Windows, each ::wimlib_tchar is a 2-byte <tt>wchar_t</tt>. The encoding
154 * is meant to be UTF-16LE. However, unpaired surrogates are permitted because
155 * neither Windows nor the NTFS filesystem forbids them in filenames.
157 * On UNIX-like systems, each ::wimlib_tchar is a 1 byte <tt>char</tt>. The
158 * encoding is meant to be UTF-8. However, for compatibility with Windows-style
159 * filenames that are not valid UTF-16LE, surrogate codepoints are permitted.
160 * Other multibyte encodings (e.g. ISO-8859-1) or garbage sequences of bytes are

176 * See @ref G_nonstandalone_wims.
178 * @subsection subsec_pipable_wims Pipable WIMs
180 * wimlib supports a special "pipable" WIM format which unfortunately is @b not
181 * compatible with Microsoft's software. To create a pipable WIM, call
182 * wimlib_write(), wimlib_write_to_fd(), or wimlib_overwrite() with
183 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_PIPABLE specified. Pipable WIMs are pipable in both
184 * directions, so wimlib_write_to_fd() can be used to write a pipable WIM to a
185 * pipe, and wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe() can be used to apply an image from
186 * a pipable WIM. wimlib can also transparently open and operate on pipable WIM
187 * s using a seekable file descriptor using the regular function calls (e.g.
188 * wimlib_open_wim(), wimlib_extract_image()).
190 * See the documentation for the <b>--pipable</b> flag of <b>wimcapture</b> for
191 * more information about pipable WIMs.
193 * @subsection subsec_thread_safety Thread Safety
195 * A ::WIMStruct is not thread-safe and cannot be accessed by multiple threads
196 * concurrently, even for "read-only" operations such as extraction. However,
197 * users are free to use <i>different</i> ::WIMStruct's from different threads
198 * concurrently. It is even allowed for multiple ::WIMStruct's to be backed by
199 * the same on-disk WIM file, although "overwrites" should never be done in such
202 * In addition, several functions change global state and should only be called
203 * when a single thread is active in the library. These functions are:
205 * - wimlib_global_init()
206 * - wimlib_global_cleanup()
207 * - wimlib_set_memory_allocator()
208 * - wimlib_set_print_errors()
209 * - wimlib_set_error_file()
210 * - wimlib_set_error_file_by_name()
212 * @subsection subsec_limitations Limitations
214 * This section documents some technical limitations of wimlib not already
215 * described in the documentation for @b wimlib-imagex.
217 * - The old WIM format from Vista pre-releases is not supported.
218 * - wimlib does not provide a clone of the @b PEImg tool, or the @b DISM
219 * functionality other than that already present in @b ImageX, that allows you
220 * to make certain Windows-specific modifications to a Windows PE image, such
221 * as adding a driver or Windows component. Such a tool could be implemented

252 * @section sec_adding_images Capturing and adding WIM images
254 * As described in @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts, capturing a new WIM or
255 * appending an image to an existing WIM is a multi-step process, but at its
256 * core is wimlib_add_image() or an equivalent function. Normally,
257 * wimlib_add_image() takes an on-disk directory tree and logically adds it to a
258 * ::WIMStruct as a new image. However, when supported by the build of the
259 * library, there is also a special NTFS volume capture mode (entered when
260 * ::WIMLIB_ADD_FLAG_NTFS is specified) that allows adding the image directly
261 * from an unmounted NTFS volume.
263 * Another function, wimlib_add_image_multisource() is also provided. It
264 * generalizes wimlib_add_image() to allow combining multiple files or directory
265 * trees into a single WIM image in a configurable way.
267 * For maximum customization of WIM image creation, it is also possible to add a
268 * completely empty WIM image with wimlib_add_empty_image(), then update it with
269 * wimlib_update_image(). (This is in fact what wimlib_add_image() and
270 * wimlib_add_image_multisource() do internally.)
272 * Note that some details of how image addition/capture works are documented
273 * more fully in the documentation for <b>wimcapture</b>.
275 * @section sec_deleting_images Deleting WIM images
277 * wimlib_delete_image() can delete an image from a ::WIMStruct. But as usual,
278 * wimlib_write() or wimlib_overwrite() must be called to cause the changes to
279 * be made persistent in an on-disk WIM file.

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

2198 * For ::WIMStruct's created with wimlib_open_wim(), the default behavior is to
2199 * write the WIM as pipable if and only if it was pipable before. For
2200 * ::WIMStruct's created with wimlib_create_new_wim(), the default behavior is
2201 * to write the WIM as non-pipable.
2203 #define WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_PIPABLE 0x00000004
2206 * Do not write the WIM as "pipable". This is the default behavior, unless the
2207 * ::WIMStruct was created by opening a pipable WIM.
2209 #define WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_NOT_PIPABLE 0x00000008
2212 * When writing data to the WIM file, recompress it, even if the data is already
2213 * available in the desired compressed form (for example, in a WIM file from
2214 * which an image has been exported using wimlib_export_image()).
2216 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_RECOMPRESS can be used to recompress with a higher
2217 * compression ratio for the same compression type and chunk size. Simply using
2218 * the default compression settings may suffice for this, especially if the WIM
2219 * file was created using another program/library that may not use as
2220 * sophisticated compression algorithms. Or,
2221 * wimlib_set_default_compression_level() can be called beforehand to set an
2222 * even higher compression level than the default.
2224 * If the WIM contains solid resources, then ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_RECOMPRESS can
2225 * be used in combination with ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SOLID to prevent any solid
2226 * resources from being re-used. Otherwise, solid resources are re-used
2227 * somewhat more liberally than normal compressed resources.
2229 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_RECOMPRESS does <b>not</b> cause recompression of data
2230 * that would not otherwise be written. For example, a call to
2231 * wimlib_overwrite() with ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_RECOMPRESS will not, by itself,
2232 * cause already-existing data in the WIM file to be recompressed. To force the
2233 * WIM file to be fully rebuilt and recompressed, combine

2239 * Immediately before closing the WIM file, sync its data to disk.
2241 * This flag forces the function to wait until the data is safely on disk before
2242 * returning success. Otherwise, modern operating systems tend to cache data
2243 * for some time (in some cases, 30+ seconds) before actually writing it to
2244 * disk, even after reporting to the application that the writes have succeeded.
2246 * wimlib_overwrite() will set this flag automatically if it decides to
2247 * overwrite the WIM file via a temporary file instead of in-place. This is
2248 * necessary on POSIX systems; it will, for example, avoid problems with delayed
2249 * allocation on ext4.

2254 * For wimlib_overwrite(): rebuild the entire WIM file, even if it otherwise
2255 * could be updated in-place by appending to it. Any data that existed in the
2256 * original WIM file but is not actually needed by any of the remaining images
2257 * will not be included. This can free up space left over after previous
2258 * in-place modifications to the WIM file.
2260 * This flag can be combined with ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_RECOMPRESS to force all
2261 * data to be recompressed. Otherwise, compressed data is re-used if possible.

2268 * For wimlib_overwrite(): override the default behavior after one or more calls
2269 * to wimlib_delete_image(), which is to rebuild the entire WIM file. With this
2270 * flag, only minimal changes to correctly remove the image from the WIM file
2271 * will be taken. This can be much faster, but it will result in the WIM file
2272 * getting larger rather than smaller.

2309 * Concatenate files and compress them together, rather than compress each file

2316 * created with this flag use a different version number in their header (3584
2317 * instead of 68864) and are also called "ESD files".
2319 * Note that providing this flag does not affect the "append by default"
2320 * behavior of wimlib_overwrite(). In other words, wimlib_overwrite() with just
2321 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SOLID can be used to append solid-compressed data to a
2322 * WIM file that originally did not contain any solid-compressed data. But if
2323 * you instead want to rebuild and recompress an entire WIM file in solid mode,
2324 * then also provide ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_REBUILD and
2325 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_RECOMPRESS.
2327 * Currently, new solid resources will, by default, be written using LZMS
2328 * compression with 64 MiB (67108864 byte) chunks. Use
2329 * wimlib_set_output_pack_compression_type() and/or
2330 * wimlib_set_output_pack_chunk_size() to change this. This is independent of
2331 * the WIM's main compression type and chunk size; you can have a WIM that
2332 * nominally uses LZX compression and 32768 byte chunks but actually contains
2333 * LZMS-compressed solid resources, for example. However, if including solid
2334 * resources, I suggest that you set the WIM's main compression type to LZMS as
2335 * well, either by creating the WIM with
2336 * ::wimlib_create_new_wim(::WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZMS, ...) or by calling
2337 * ::wimlib_set_output_compression_type(..., ::WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZMS).
2339 * This flag will be set by default when writing or overwriting a WIM file that
2340 * either already contains solid resources, or has had solid resources exported
2341 * into it and the WIM's main compression type is LZMS.

4705 * values above 100 are also valid.
