.SH NAME
imagex export \- Exports an image from a WIM archive to an existing or new WIM archive
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 6
\fB--boot\fR
-Specifies that the exported image is to be the bootable image of the WIM archive.
+Specifies that the exported image is to be the bootable image of the destination
+WIM archive.
If multiple images are being exported, this flag indicates that the image in the
\fISRC_WIMFILE\fR that is currently marked as bootable is to be made bootable in
write an integrity table. If this option is not specified, no integrity table
is included in \fIDEST_WIMFILE\fR, even if there was one before.
.TP
-\fB--compress\fR[=\fITYPE\fR]
+\fB--compress\fR=\fITYPE\fR
Specifies the compression type for \fIDEST_WIMFILE\fR. This is only valid if
-\fIDEST_WIMFILE\fR does not yet exist.
+\fIDEST_WIMFILE\fR does not yet exist, since if \fIDEST_WIMFILE\fR exists, the
+compression type must be the same as that of \fIDEST_WIMFILE\fR.
-\fITYPE\fR may be "none",
-"maximum", or "fast". By default, the compression type is "none". If \fB--compress\fR
-is specified but \fITYPE\fR is not, the compression type is taken to be
-"maximum", which is LZX compression. "fast" compression is XPRESS compression.
+\fITYPE\fR may be "none", "maximum", or "fast". By default, it is "fast".
+
+You may also specify the actual names of the compression algorithms, "XPRESS"
+and "LZX", instead of "fast" and "maximum", respectively.
+
+.SH NOTES
+
+\fBimagex export\fR does not yet support split WIMs.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Export the second image of 'boot.wim' to the new WIM file 'image2.wim', and
+change the compression type to maximum, if it wasn't maximum already:
+.RS
+.PP
+image export boot.wim 2 image2.wim --compress=maximum
+.RE
+.PP
