creates a new WIM file containing the captured image, while the \fBimagex
append\fR command appends the captured image to an existing WIM file.

A WIM image is an independent directory tree in the WIM file. A WIM file may
contain any number of separate images. However, files are stored only one time
in the entire WIM, regardless of how many images the file appears in.
\fBimagex capture\fR or \fBimagex append\fR command. See the documentation for
\fB--source-list\fR below.
+.SH WINDOWS VERSION
+
+This section documents the differences between \fBimagex capture\fR and
+\fBimagex append\fR in the Windows builds of wimlib versus the rest of this man
+page, which is written to document UNIX build.
+
+\fBimagex capture\fR and \fBimagex append\fR do not have separate "normal" and
+"NTFS" modes on Windows. There is simply one mode, and it uses the Windows API
+to capture NTFS-specific information, including alternate data streams, reparse
+points, hard links, and file attributes. So, you essentially get the advantages
+of the "NTFS mode" documented above, but you can capture a WIM image from any
+directory, not just an entire NTFS volume. This is essentially the same
+behavior as Microsoft's ImageX.
+
+The \fB--source-list\fR option is supported on Windows, but the
+\fB--dereference\fR option is not.
+
+Except for the differences documented in this section, the Windows build of
+\fBimagex capture\fR and \fBimagex append\fR should be essentially equivalent to
+the UNIX build. However, one additional thing to note is that wimlib's Windows
+ImageX is NOT written to be command-line compatible with Microsoft's ImageX,
+although they are very similar.
