.SH NAME
@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@-mount, @IMAGEX_PROGNAME@-mountrw, @IMAGEX_PROGNAME@-unmount \- Mount and unmount an image from a WIM archive
.SH SYNOPSIS
by \fIIMAGE\fR on the directory \fIDIRECTORY\fR using FUSE (Filesystem in
Userspace). \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR will mount the image read-only, while
\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR will mount the image read-write.
+These commands are also available as simply \fBwimmount\fR, \fBwimmountrw\fR,
+and \fBwimunmount\fR if the appropriate hard links or batch files are installed.
.PP
\fIIMAGE\fR may be a 1-based index of the image in the WIM to mount, or it may
be the name of an image in the WIM. Use the \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR (1)
made to a WIM mounted read-write will be discarded unless the \fB--commit\fR
flag is provided to \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR.
.SH SPLIT WIMS
-You may use \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR to mount an image from a split WIM read-only.
-However, you may not mount an image from a split WIM read-write.
+You may use \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR to mount an image from a split WIM

-The \fIWIMFILE\fR argument is used to specify the first part of the split WIM, and
-the \fB--refs\fR="\fIGLOB\fR" option is used to provide a shell-style file glob
-that specifies the additional parts of the split WIM. \fIGLOB\fR is expected to
-be a single string on the command line, so \fIGLOB\fR must be quoted so that it
-is protected against shell expansion. \fIGLOB\fR must expand to all parts of
-the split WIM, except optionally the first part which may either omitted or
-included in the glob (but the first part MUST be specified as \fIWIMFILE\fR as
-well).
+The \fIWIMFILE\fR argument must specify the first part of the split WIM, while
+the additional parts of the split WIM must be specified in one or more
+\fB--ref\fR="\fIGLOB\fR" options. Since globbing is built into the \fB--ref\fR
+option, typically only one \fB--ref\fR option is necessary. For example, the
+names for the split WIM parts usually go something like:

-Here's an example. The names for the split WIMs usually go something like:

\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR, and

You can mount multiple images from a WIM file read-only at the same time, but
you can only mount one image at a time from a WIM read-write.

\fB--ref\fR="\fIGLOB\fR"
-File glob of additional split WIM parts that are part of the split WIM being

+\fIGLOB\fR is listed in quotes because it is interpreted by

\fB--staging-dir\fR=\fIDIR\fR
Store temporary staging files in a subdirectory of the directory \fIDIR\fR.
.TP
\fB--check\fR
When writing \fIWIMFILE\fR, include an integrity table. Has no effect if the
-mount is read-only or if \fB--commit\fR was not specified.

+is to include an integrity table if and only if there was one present before.
.TP
\fB--rebuild\fR
Rebuild the entire WIM rather than appending any new data to the end of it.
Rebuilding the WIM is slower, but will save a little bit of space that would
otherwise be left as a hole in the WIM. Even more space will be saved if the
read-write mount resulted in streams being deleted from the WIM. Also see
-\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ optimize\fR. Has no effect if the mount is read-only or if
-\fB--commit\fR was not specified.
+.TP
+\fB--lazy\fR
+Pass the \fB-z\fR option to \fBfusermount\fR, which performs a "lazy" unmount
+where the filesystem is detached immediately even if it is still busy. However,
+even with this option, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR still waits for the
+filesystem to become unbusy; \fB--lazy\fR will only stop the unmount from
+immediately failing.
.SH IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Since a WIM is an archive and not a filesystem, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mountrw\fR creates a
temporary staging directory to contain files that are created or modified. This
.PP
\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR runs in a separate process from the process that previously
ran \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ mount\fR, and these two processes communicate using POSIX message
-queues. See \fIsrc/mount_image.c\fR in the sources for details. Note: As of
-wimlib v1.2.1, \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ unmount\fR correctly fails with an error within a
-reasonable amount of time (1 second) if the filesystem daemon is abnormally
-terminated.
