+ * This is the documentation for the library interface of wimlib 1.7.3, a C
* library for creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting files in the
* Windows Imaging Format. This documentation is intended for developers only.
* If you have installed wimlib and want to know how to use the @b wimlib-imagex
- * program, please see the README file or manual pages.
+ * program, please see the manual pages and also the <a
+ * href="http://sourceforge.net/p/wimlib/code/ci/master/tree/README">README
+ * file</a>.
*
- * @section sec_installing_and_compiling Installing and Compiling
+ * @section sec_installing Installing
*
- * wimlib uses the GNU autotools, so, on UNIX-like systems, it should be easy to
- * install with <code>configure && make && sudo make install</code>; however,
- * please see the README for more information about installing it.
+ * @subsection UNIX
*
- * To use wimlib in your program after installing it, include wimlib.h and link
- * your program with @c -lwim.
+ * Download the source code from <a
+ * href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/files">http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/files</a>.
+ * Install the library by running <c>configure && make && sudo make install</c>.
+ * See the README for information about configuration options. To use wimlib in
+ * your program after installing it, include wimlib.h and link your program with
+ * <c>-lwim</c>.
*
- * As of wimlib 1.5.0, wimlib.h is also compatible with C++.
+ * @subsection Windows
*
- * 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.
+ * Download the Windows binary distribution with the appropriate architecture
+ * (i686 or x86_64 --- also called "x86" and "amd64" respectively) from <a
+ * href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/files">http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/files</a>.
+ * Link your program with the libwim-15.dll file. Make sure to also download
+ * the source code so you can get wimlib.h, as it is not included in the binary
+ * distribution. If you need to access the DLL from other programming
+ * languages, note that the calling convention is "cdecl".
+ *
+ * @section sec_examples Examples
+ *
+ * Several examples are located in the <a
+ * href="http://sourceforge.net/p/wimlib/code/ci/master/tree/examples">examples</a>
+ * directory of the source distribution.
+ *
+ * There is also the <a
+ * href="http://sourceforge.net/p/wimlib/code/ci/master/tree/programs/imagex.c">
+ * source code of <b>wimlib-imagex</b></a>, which is complicated but uses most
+ * capabilities of wimlib.
+ *
+ * @section backwards_compatibility Backwards Compatibility
+ *
+ * New releases of wimlib are intended to be API/ABI compatible with old
+ * releases, except when the libtool "age" is reset. This most recently
+ * occurred for the v1.4.0 (libwim7), v1.5.0 (libwim9), and v1.7.0 (libwim15)
+ * releases. However, the library is becoming increasingly stable, and the goal
+ * is to maintain the current API/ABI for as long as possible unless there is a
+ * strong reason not to. Even for the v1.7.0 release (libwim15), the changes
+ * were fairly limited.
+ *
+ * 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
*
* 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.
*
+ * 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.
+ *
* @section sec_cleaning_up Cleaning up
*
* After you are done with any ::WIMStruct, you can call wimlib_free() to free
*
* @brief Mount and unmount WIM images.
*
- * On UNIX-like systems supporting FUSE (such as Linux), wimlib supports
- * mounting images from WIM files either read-only or read-write. To mount an
- * image, call wimlib_mount_image(). To unmount an image, call
- * wimlib_unmount_image(). Mounting can be done without root privileges because
- * it is implemented using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). If wimlib is
- * compiled with the <code>--without-fuse</code> flag, these functions will be
- * available but will fail with ::WIMLIB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED. Note that mounting an
- * image read-write is an alternative to calling wimlib_update_image().
+ * On Linux, wimlib supports mounting images from WIM files either read-only or
+ * read-write. To mount an image, call wimlib_mount_image(). To unmount an
+ * image, call wimlib_unmount_image(). Mounting can be done without root
+ * privileges because it is implemented using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace).
+ *
+ * If wimlib is compiled using the <code>--without-fuse</code> flag, these
+ * functions will be available but will fail with ::WIMLIB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED.
+ *
+ * Note: if mounting is unsupported, wimlib still provides another way to modify
+ * a WIM image (wimlib_update_image()).

* @brief Write and overwrite on-disk WIM files.
*
* As described in @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts, these functions are
- * critical to the design of the library as they allow new or modified WIMs to
- * actually be written to on-disk files. Generally, wimlib_write() is the
- * function you need to call to write a new WIM file, and wimlib_overwrite() is
- * the function you need to call to persistently update an existing WIM file.
+ * fundamental to the design of the library as they allow new or modified
+ * ::WIMStruct's to actually be written to on-disk files. Call wimlib_write()
+ * to write a new WIM file, or wimlib_overwrite() to persistently update an
+ * existing WIM file.
