+ *
+ * As with any other library, applications should not rely on internal
+ * implementation details that may be subject to change.
+ *
* @section sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts Basic WIM handling concepts
*
* wimlib wraps up a WIM file in an opaque ::WIMStruct structure. There are
- * two ways to create such a structure: wimlib_open_wim(), which opens a WIM
- * file and creates a ::WIMStruct representing it, and wimlib_create_new_wim(),
- * which creates a new ::WIMStruct that initially contains no images and does
- * not yet have a backing on-disk file. See @ref G_creating_and_opening_wims
- * for more details.
- *
- * A WIM file, represented by a ::WIMStruct, contains zero or more images.
- * Images can be extracted (or "applied") using wimlib_extract_image(), added
- * (or "captured" or "appended") using wimlib_add_image(), deleted using
- * wimlib_delete_image(), exported using wimlib_export_image(), and updated or
- * modified using wimlib_update_image(). However, changes made to a WIM
- * represented by a ::WIMStruct have no persistent effect until the WIM is
- * actually written to an on-disk file. This can be done using wimlib_write(),
- * but if the WIM was originally opened using wimlib_open_wim(), then
- * wimlib_overwrite() can be used instead. See @ref G_extracting_wims, @ref
- * G_modifying_wims, and @ref G_writing_and_overwriting_wims for more details.
- *
- * Note that with this ::WIMStruct abstraction, performing many tasks on WIM
- * files is a multi-step process. For example, to add, or "append" an image to
- * an existing stand-alone WIM file in a way similar to <b>wimlib-imagex
- * append</b>, you must call the following functions:
+ * two ways to create such a structure:
+ *
+ * 1. wimlib_open_wim() opens an on-disk WIM file and creates a ::WIMStruct for
+ * it.
+ * 2. wimlib_create_new_wim() creates a new ::WIMStruct that initially contains
+ * no images and does not yet have a backing on-disk file.
+ *
+ * A ::WIMStruct contains zero or more independent directory trees called @a
+ * images. Images may be extracted, added, deleted, exported, and updated using
+ * various API functions. (See @ref G_extracting_wims and @ref G_modifying_wims
+ * for more details.)
+ *
+ * Changes made to a WIM represented by a ::WIMStruct have no persistent effect
+ * until the WIM is actually written to an on-disk file. This can be done using
+ * wimlib_write(), but if the WIM was originally opened using wimlib_open_wim(),
+ * then wimlib_overwrite() can be used instead. (See @ref
+ * G_writing_and_overwriting_wims for more details.)
+ *
+ * wimlib's API is designed to let you combine functions to accomplish tasks in
+ * a flexible way. Here are some example sequences of function calls:
+ *
+ * Apply an image from a WIM file, similar to the command-line program
+ * <b>wimapply</b>:
*
* 1. wimlib_open_wim()
+ * 2. wimlib_extract_image()
+ *
+ * Capture an image into a new WIM file, similar to <b>wimcapture</b>:
+ *
+ * 1. wimlib_create_new_wim()
* 2. wimlib_add_image()
+ * 3. wimlib_write()
+ *
+ * Append an image to an existing WIM file, similar to <b>wimappend</b>:
+ *
+ * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
+ * 2. wimlib_add_image()
+ * 3. wimlib_overwrite()
+ *
+ * Delete an image from an existing WIM file, similar to <b>wimdelete</b>:
+ *
+ * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
+ * 2. wimlib_delete_image()
* 3. wimlib_overwrite()
*
- * This design is very much on purpose as it makes the library more useful in
- * general by allowing functions to be composed in different ways. For example,
- * you can make multiple changes to a WIM and commit them all to the underlying
- * file in only one overwrite operation, which is more efficient.
+ * Export an image from one WIM file to another, similar to <b>wimexport</b>:
+ *
+ * 1. wimlib_open_wim() (on source)
+ * 2. wimlib_open_wim() (on destination)
+ * 3. wimlib_export_image()
+ * 4. wimlib_overwrite() (on destination)
*
- * Note: before calling any other function declared in wimlib.h,
- * wimlib_global_init() can (and in some cases, must) be called. See its
- * documentation for more details.
+ * The API also lets you do things the command-line tools don't directly allow.
+ * For example, you could make multiple changes to a WIM before efficiently
+ * committing the changes with just one call to wimlib_overwrite(). Perhaps you
+ * want to both delete an image and add a new one; or perhaps you want to
+ * customize an image with wimlib_update_image() after adding it. All these use
+ * cases are supported by the API.
*
* @section sec_cleaning_up Cleaning up
*
*
* @section sec_error_handling Error Handling
*
- * Most functions in wimlib return 0 on success and a positive error code on
- * failure. Use wimlib_get_error_string() to get a string that describes an
- * error code. wimlib also can print error messages to standard error itself
- * when an error happens, and these may be more informative than the error code;
- * to enable this, call wimlib_set_print_errors(). Please note that this is for
- * convenience only, and some errors can occur without a message being printed.
- * Currently, error messages and strings (as well as all documentation, for that
- * matter) are only available in English.
+ * Most functions in wimlib return 0 on success and a positive
+ * ::wimlib_error_code value on failure. Use wimlib_get_error_string() to get a

+ * messages and strings (as well as all documentation, for that matter) are only
+ * available in English.
*
- * @section sec_encodings Locales and character encodings
+ * @section sec_encodings Character encoding
*
* To support Windows as well as UNIX-like systems, wimlib's API typically takes
- * and returns strings of ::wimlib_tchar, which are in a platform-dependent
- * encoding.
+ * and returns strings of ::wimlib_tchar which have a platform-dependent type
+ * and encoding.
*
- * On Windows, each ::wimlib_tchar is 2 bytes and is the same as a "wchar_t",
- * and the encoding is UTF-16LE.
+ * On Windows, each ::wimlib_tchar is a 2-byte <tt>wchar_t</tt>. The encoding
+ * is meant to be UTF-16LE. However, unpaired surrogates are permitted because
+ * neither Windows nor the NTFS filesystem forbids them in filenames.
*
- * On UNIX-like systems, each ::wimlib_tchar is 1 byte and is simply a "char",
- * and the encoding is the locale-dependent multibyte encoding. I recommend you
- * set your locale to a UTF-8 capable locale to avoid any issues. Also, by
- * default, wimlib on UNIX will assume the locale is UTF-8 capable unless you
- * call wimlib_global_init() after having set your desired locale.
+ * On UNIX-like systems, each ::wimlib_tchar is a 1 byte <tt>char</tt>. The
+ * encoding is meant to be UTF-8. However, for compatibility with Windows-style
+ * filenames that are not valid UTF-16LE, surrogate codepoints are permitted.
+ * Other multibyte encodings (e.g. ISO-8859-1) or garbage sequences of bytes are
+ * not permitted.
*
* @section sec_advanced Additional information and features
*
* s using a seekable file descriptor using the regular function calls (e.g.
* wimlib_open_wim(), wimlib_extract_image()).

*
* @subsection subsec_thread_safety Thread Safety
*
- * wimlib is thread-safe, with the following exceptions:
- * - Different threads cannot operate on the same ::WIMStruct at the same time;
- * they must use different ::WIMStruct's.
- * - You must call wimlib_global_init() in one thread before calling any other
- * functions.
- * - wimlib_set_print_errors() and wimlib_set_memory_allocator() both apply globally.
- * - wimlib_mount_image(), while it can be used to mount multiple WIMs
- * concurrently in the same process, will daemonize the entire process when it
- * does so for the first time. This includes changing the working directory
- * to the root directory.
+ * A ::WIMStruct is not thread-safe and cannot be accessed by multiple threads
+ * concurrently, even for "read-only" operations such as extraction. However,
+ * users are free to use <i>different</i> ::WIMStruct's from different threads
+ * concurrently. It is even allowed for multiple ::WIMStruct's to be backed by
+ * the same on-disk WIM file, although "overwrites" should never be done in such
+ * a scenario.
+ *
+ * In addition, several functions change global state and should only be called
+ * when a single thread is active in the library. These functions are:
+ *
+ * - wimlib_global_init()
+ * - wimlib_global_cleanup()
+ * - wimlib_set_memory_allocator()
+ * - wimlib_set_print_errors()
+ * - wimlib_set_error_file()
+ * - wimlib_set_error_file_by_name()
*
* @subsection subsec_limitations Limitations
*
* This section documents some technical limitations of wimlib not already
- * documented in the man page for @b wimlib-imagex.
+ * described in the documentation for @b wimlib-imagex.
*

/**
* @ingroup G_writing_and_overwriting_wims
*
- * Overwrites the file that the WIM was originally read from, with changes made.
- * This only makes sense for ::WIMStruct's obtained from wimlib_open_wim()
- * rather than wimlib_create_new_wim().
- *
- * There are two ways that a WIM may be overwritten. The first is to do a full
- * rebuild. In this mode, the new WIM is written to a temporary file and then
- * renamed to the original file after it is has been completely written. The
- * temporary file is made in the same directory as the original WIM file. A
- * full rebuild may take a while, but it will save space by producing a WIM with
- * no "holes".
- *
- * The second way to overwrite a WIM is by appending to the end of it and
- * overwriting the header. This can be much faster than a full rebuild, but the
- * disadvantage is that some space will be wasted. Writing a WIM in this mode
- * begins with writing any new file resources *after* everything in the old WIM,
- * even though this will leave a hole where the old lookup table, XML data, and
- * integrity were. This is done so that the WIM remains valid even if the
- * operation is aborted mid-write. The WIM header is only overwritten at the
- * very last moment, and up until that point the WIM will be seen as the old
- * version.
- *
- * By default, wimlib_overwrite() does the append-style overwrite described
- * above, unless resources in the WIM are arranged in an unusual way or if
- * images have been deleted from the WIM. Use the flag
- * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_REBUILD to explicitly request a full rebuild, and use the
- * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SOFT_DELETE to request the in-place overwrite even if
- * images have been deleted from the WIM.
- *
- * If this function completes successfully, no more functions should be called
- * on @p wim other than wimlib_free(). If you need to continue using the WIM,
- * you must use wimlib_open_wim() to read it anew.
+ * Commit a ::WIMStruct to disk, updating its backing file.
+ *
+ * There are several alternative ways in which changes may be committed:
+ *
+ * 1. Full rebuild: write the updated WIM to a temporary file, then rename the
+ * temporary file to the original.
+ * 2. Appending: append updates to the new original WIM file, then overwrite
+ * its header such that those changes become visible to new readers.
+ * 3. Compaction: normally should not be used; see
+ * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_UNSAFE_COMPACT for details.
+ *
+ * Append mode is often much faster than a full rebuild, but it wastes some
+ * amount of space due to leaving "holes" in the WIM file. Because of the
+ * greater efficiency, wimlib_overwrite() normally defaults to append mode.
+ * However, ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_REBUILD can be used to explicitly request a full
+ * rebuild. In addition, if wimlib_delete_image() has been used on the
+ * ::WIMStruct, then the default mode switches to rebuild mode, and
+ * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SOFT_DELETE can be used to explicitly request append
+ * mode.
+ *
+ * If this function completes successfully, then no more functions can be called
+ * on the ::WIMStruct other than wimlib_free(). If you need to continue using
+ * the WIM file, you must use wimlib_open_wim() to open a new ::WIMStruct for
+ * it.
