3 * @brief External header for wimlib.
5 * This file contains comments for generating documentation with Doxygen. The
6 * built HTML documentation can be viewed at https://wimlib.net/apidoc. Make
7 * sure to see the <a href="modules.html">Modules page</a> to make more sense of
8 * the declarations in this header.
14 * This is the documentation for the library interface of wimlib 1.9.2, a C
15 * library for creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting files in the
16 * Windows Imaging Format. This documentation is intended for developers only.
17 * If you have installed wimlib and want to know how to use the @b wimlib-imagex
18 * program, please see the manual pages and also the <a
19 * href="https://wimlib.net/git/?p=wimlib;a=blob;f=README">README file</a>.
21 * @section sec_installing Installing
25 * Download the source code from https://wimlib.net. Install the library by
26 * running <c>configure && make && sudo make install</c>. See the README for
27 * information about configuration options. To use wimlib in your program after
28 * installing it, include wimlib.h and link your program with <c>-lwim</c>.
32 * Download the Windows binary distribution with the appropriate architecture
33 * (i686 or x86_64 --- also called "x86" and "amd64" respectively) from
34 * https://wimlib.net. Link your program with the libwim-15.dll file. Make
35 * sure to also download the source code so you can get wimlib.h, as it is not
36 * included in the binary distribution. If you need to access the DLL from
37 * other programming languages, note that the calling convention is "cdecl".
39 * Note that wimlib is developed using MinGW-w64, and there may be a little work
40 * required if you plan to use the header and DLL with Visual Studio.
42 * @section sec_examples Examples
44 * Several examples are located in the "examples" directory of the source
45 * distribution. Also see @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts below.
47 * There is also the <a
48 * href="https://wimlib.net/git/?p=wimlib;a=blob;f=programs/imagex.c">
49 * source code of <b>wimlib-imagex</b></a>, which is complicated but uses most
50 * capabilities of wimlib.
52 * @section backward_compatibility Backward Compatibility
54 * New releases of wimlib are intended to be backward compatible with old
55 * releases, except when the libtool "age" is reset. This most recently
56 * occurred for the v1.7.0 (libwim15) release (June 2014). Since the library is
57 * becoming increasingly stable, the goal is to maintain the current API/ABI for
58 * as long as possible unless there is a strong reason not to.
60 * As with any other library, applications should not rely on internal
61 * implementation details that may be subject to change.
63 * @section sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts Basic WIM handling concepts
65 * wimlib wraps up a WIM file in an opaque ::WIMStruct structure. There are
66 * two ways to create such a structure:
68 * 1. wimlib_open_wim() opens an on-disk WIM file and creates a ::WIMStruct for
70 * 2. wimlib_create_new_wim() creates a new ::WIMStruct that initially contains
71 * no images and does not yet have a backing on-disk file.
73 * A ::WIMStruct contains zero or more independent directory trees called @a
74 * images. Images may be extracted, added, deleted, exported, and updated using
75 * various API functions. (See @ref G_extracting_wims and @ref G_modifying_wims
78 * Changes made to a WIM represented by a ::WIMStruct have no persistent effect
79 * until the WIM is actually written to an on-disk file. This can be done using
80 * wimlib_write(), but if the WIM was originally opened using wimlib_open_wim(),
81 * then wimlib_overwrite() can be used instead. (See @ref
82 * G_writing_and_overwriting_wims for more details.)
84 * wimlib's API is designed to let you combine functions to accomplish tasks in
85 * a flexible way. Here are some example sequences of function calls:
87 * Apply an image from a WIM file, similar to the command-line program
90 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
91 * 2. wimlib_extract_image()
93 * Capture an image into a new WIM file, similar to <b>wimcapture</b>:
95 * 1. wimlib_create_new_wim()
96 * 2. wimlib_add_image()
99 * Append an image to an existing WIM file, similar to <b>wimappend</b>:
101 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
102 * 2. wimlib_add_image()
103 * 3. wimlib_overwrite()
105 * Delete an image from an existing WIM file, similar to <b>wimdelete</b>:
107 * 1. wimlib_open_wim()
108 * 2. wimlib_delete_image()
109 * 3. wimlib_overwrite()
111 * Export an image from one WIM file to another, similar to <b>wimexport</b>:
113 * 1. wimlib_open_wim() (on source)
114 * 2. wimlib_open_wim() (on destination)
115 * 3. wimlib_export_image()
116 * 4. wimlib_overwrite() (on destination)
118 * The API also lets you do things the command-line tools don't directly allow.
119 * For example, you could make multiple changes to a WIM before efficiently
120 * committing the changes with just one call to wimlib_overwrite(). Perhaps you
121 * want to both delete an image and add a new one; or perhaps you want to
122 * customize an image with wimlib_update_image() after adding it. All these use
123 * cases are supported by the API.
125 * @section sec_cleaning_up Cleaning up
127 * After you are done with any ::WIMStruct, you can call wimlib_free() to free
128 * all resources associated with it. Also, when you are completely done with
129 * using wimlib in your program, you can call wimlib_global_cleanup() to free
130 * any other resources allocated by the library.
132 * @section sec_error_handling Error Handling
134 * Most functions in wimlib return 0 on success and a positive
135 * ::wimlib_error_code value on failure. Use wimlib_get_error_string() to get a
136 * string that describes an error code. wimlib also can print error messages to
137 * standard error or a custom file when an error occurs, and these may be more
138 * informative than the error code; to enable this, call
139 * wimlib_set_print_errors(). Please note that this is for convenience only,
140 * and some errors can occur without a message being printed. Currently, error
141 * messages and strings (as well as all documentation, for that matter) are only
142 * available in English.
144 * @section sec_encodings Locales and character encodings
146 * To support Windows as well as UNIX-like systems, wimlib's API typically takes
147 * and returns strings of ::wimlib_tchar, which are in a platform-dependent
150 * On Windows, each ::wimlib_tchar is 2 bytes and is the same as a "wchar_t",
151 * and the encoding is UTF-16LE.
153 * On UNIX-like systems, each ::wimlib_tchar is 1 byte and is simply a "char",
154 * and the encoding is UTF-8.

167 * @subsection subsec_non_standalone_wims Non-standalone WIMs
169 * See @ref G_nonstandalone_wims.
171 * @subsection subsec_pipable_wims Pipable WIMs
173 * wimlib supports a special "pipable" WIM format which unfortunately is @b not
174 * compatible with Microsoft's software. To create a pipable WIM, call
175 * wimlib_write(), wimlib_write_to_fd(), or wimlib_overwrite() with
176 * ::WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_PIPABLE specified. Pipable WIMs are pipable in both
177 * directions, so wimlib_write_to_fd() can be used to write a pipable WIM to a
178 * pipe, and wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe() can be used to apply an image from
179 * a pipable WIM. wimlib can also transparently open and operate on pipable WIM
180 * s using a seekable file descriptor using the regular function calls (e.g.
181 * wimlib_open_wim(), wimlib_extract_image()).
183 * See the documentation for the <b>--pipable</b> flag of <b>wimcapture</b> for
184 * more information about pipable WIMs.
186 * @subsection subsec_thread_safety Thread Safety
188 * A ::WIMStruct is not thread-safe and cannot be accessed by multiple threads
189 * concurrently, even for "read-only" operations such as extraction. However,
190 * users are free to use <i>different</i> ::WIMStruct's from different threads
191 * concurrently. It is even allowed for multiple ::WIMStruct's to be backed by
192 * the same on-disk WIM file, although "overwrites" should never be done in such
195 * In addition, several functions change global state and should only be called
196 * when a single thread is active in the library. These functions are:
198 * - wimlib_global_init()
199 * - wimlib_global_cleanup()
200 * - wimlib_set_memory_allocator()
201 * - wimlib_set_print_errors()
202 * - wimlib_set_error_file()
203 * - wimlib_set_error_file_by_name()
205 * @subsection subsec_limitations Limitations
207 * This section documents some technical limitations of wimlib not already
208 * described in the documentation for @b wimlib-imagex.
210 * - The old WIM format from Vista pre-releases is not supported.
211 * - wimlib does not provide a clone of the @b PEImg tool, or the @b DISM
212 * functionality other than that already present in @b ImageX, that allows you
213 * to make certain Windows-specific modifications to a Windows PE image, such
214 * as adding a driver or Windows component. Such a tool could be implemented
217 * @subsection more_info More information
219 * You are advised to read the README as well as the documentation for
220 * <b>wimlib-imagex</b>, since not all relevant information is repeated here in
221 * the API documentation.

245 * @section sec_adding_images Capturing and adding WIM images
247 * As described in @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts, capturing a new WIM or
248 * appending an image to an existing WIM is a multi-step process, but at its
249 * core is wimlib_add_image() or an equivalent function. Normally,
250 * wimlib_add_image() takes an on-disk directory tree and logically adds it to a
251 * ::WIMStruct as a new image. However, when supported by the build of the
252 * library, there is also a special NTFS volume capture mode (entered when
253 * ::WIMLIB_ADD_FLAG_NTFS is specified) that allows adding the image directly
254 * from an unmounted NTFS volume.
256 * Another function, wimlib_add_image_multisource() is also provided. It
257 * generalizes wimlib_add_image() to allow combining multiple files or directory
258 * trees into a single WIM image in a configurable way.
260 * For maximum customization of WIM image creation, it is also possible to add a
261 * completely empty WIM image with wimlib_add_empty_image(), then update it with
262 * wimlib_update_image(). (This is in fact what wimlib_add_image() and
263 * wimlib_add_image_multisource() do internally.)
265 * Note that some details of how image addition/capture works are documented
266 * more fully in the documentation for <b>wimcapture</b>.
268 * @section sec_deleting_images Deleting WIM images
270 * wimlib_delete_image() can delete an image from a ::WIMStruct. But as usual,
271 * wimlib_write() or wimlib_overwrite() must be called to cause the changes to
272 * be made persistent in an on-disk WIM file.

289 /** @defgroup G_extracting_wims Extracting WIMs
291 * @brief Extract files, directories, and images from a WIM.
293 * wimlib_extract_image() extracts, or "applies", an image from a WIM,
294 * represented by a ::WIMStruct. This normally extracts the image to a
295 * directory, but when supported by the build of the library there is also a
296 * special NTFS volume extraction mode (entered when ::WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NTFS
297 * is specified) that allows extracting a WIM image directly to an unmounted
298 * NTFS volume. Various other flags allow further customization of image
301 * wimlib_extract_paths() and wimlib_extract_pathlist() allow extracting a list
302 * of (possibly wildcard) paths from a WIM image.
304 * wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe() extracts an image from a pipable WIM sent
305 * over a pipe; see @ref subsec_pipable_wims.
307 * Some details of how WIM extraction works are described more fully in the
308 * documentation for <b>wimapply</b> and <b>wimextract</b>.
311 /** @defgroup G_mounting_wim_images Mounting WIM images
313 * @brief Mount and unmount WIM images.
315 * On Linux, wimlib supports mounting images from WIM files either read-only or
316 * read-write. To mount an image, call wimlib_mount_image(). To unmount an
317 * image, call wimlib_unmount_image(). Mounting can be done without root
318 * privileges because it is implemented using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace).
320 * If wimlib is compiled using the <c>--without-fuse</c> flag, these functions
321 * will be available but will fail with ::WIMLIB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED.
323 * Note: if mounting is unsupported, wimlib still provides another way to modify
324 * a WIM image (wimlib_update_image()).
328 * @defgroup G_progress Progress Messages
330 * @brief Track the progress of long WIM operations.
332 * Library users can provide a progress function which will be called
333 * periodically during operations such as extracting a WIM image or writing a
334 * WIM image. A ::WIMStruct can have a progress function of type
335 * ::wimlib_progress_func_t associated with it by calling
336 * wimlib_register_progress_function() or by opening the ::WIMStruct using
337 * wimlib_open_wim_with_progress(). Once this is done, the progress function
338 * will be called automatically during many operations, such as
339 * wimlib_extract_image() and wimlib_write().
341 * Some functions that do not operate directly on a user-provided ::WIMStruct,
342 * such as wimlib_join(), also take the progress function directly using an
343 * extended version of the function, such as wimlib_join_with_progress().
345 * Since wimlib v1.7.0, progress functions are no longer just unidirectional.
346 * You can now return ::WIMLIB_PROGRESS_STATUS_ABORT to cause the current
347 * operation to be aborted. wimlib v1.7.0 also added the third argument to
348 * ::wimlib_progress_func_t, which is a user-supplied context.
351 /** @defgroup G_writing_and_overwriting_wims Writing and Overwriting WIMs
353 * @brief Create or update an on-disk WIM file.
355 * wimlib_write() creates a new on-disk WIM file, whereas wimlib_overwrite()
356 * updates an existing WIM file. See @ref sec_basic_wim_handling_concepts for
357 * more information about the API design.
360 /** @defgroup G_nonstandalone_wims Creating and handling non-standalone WIMs
362 * @brief Create and handle non-standalone WIMs, such as split and delta WIMs.
364 * A ::WIMStruct backed by an on-disk file normally represents a fully
365 * standalone WIM archive. However, WIM archives can also be arranged in
366 * non-standalone ways, such as a set of on-disk files that together form a
367 * single "split WIM" or "delta WIM". Such arrangements are fully supported by
368 * wimlib. However, as a result, in such cases a ::WIMStruct created from one
369 * of these on-disk files initially only partially represents the full WIM and
370 * needs to, in effect, be logically combined with other ::WIMStruct's before
371 * performing certain operations, such as extracting files with
372 * wimlib_extract_image() or wimlib_extract_paths(). This is done by calling
373 * wimlib_reference_resource_files() or wimlib_reference_resources(). Note: if
374 * you fail to do so, you may see the error code
375 * ::WIMLIB_ERR_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND; this just indicates that data is not
376 * available because the appropriate WIM files have not yet been referenced.
378 * wimlib_write() can create delta WIMs as well as standalone WIMs, but a
379 * specialized function (wimlib_split()) is needed to create a split WIM.

475 * produce a better compression ratio, and work more quickly, than the
476 * implementation in Microsoft's WIMGAPI (as of Windows 8.1).
477 * Non-default compression levels are also supported. For example,

479 * slower but usually improves compression by several percent over the
480 * default level of 50.

4612 * wimlib_compress() when called using this compressor.
4614 * Usually, the amount of memory used by the compressor will scale in

4616 * wimlib_get_compressor_needed_memory() can be used to query the specific
4617 * amount of memory that will be required.
4619 * This parameter must be at least 1 and must be less than or equal to a
4620 * compression-type-specific limit.
4622 * In general, the same value of @p max_block_size must be passed to
4623 * wimlib_create_decompressor() when the data is later decompressed.
4624 * However, some compression types have looser requirements regarding this.
4625 * @param compression_level
4626 * The compression level to use. If 0, the default compression level (50,
4627 * or another value as set through wimlib_set_default_compression_level())
4628 * is used. Otherwise, a higher value indicates higher compression. The
4629 * values are scaled so that 10 is low compression, 50 is medium
4630 * compression, and 100 is high compression. This is not a percentage;
4631 * values above 100 are also valid.
4633 * Using a higher-than-default compression level can result in a better
4634 * compression ratio, but can significantly reduce performance. Similarly,
4635 * using a lower-than-default compression level can result in better
4636 * performance, but can significantly worsen the compression ratio. The
4637 * exact results will depend heavily on the compression type and what
4638 * algorithms are implemented for it. If you are considering using a
4639 * non-default compression level, you should run benchmarks to see if it is
4640 * worthwhile for your application.
4642 * The compression level does not affect the format of the compressed data.
4643 * Therefore, it is a compressor-only parameter and does not need to be
4644 * passed to the decompressor.
4646 * Since wimlib v1.8.0, this parameter can be OR-ed with the flag
4647 * ::WIMLIB_COMPRESSOR_FLAG_DESTRUCTIVE. This creates the compressor in a

4649 * this mode, if compression succeeds, the input buffer may have been
4650 * modified, whereas if compression does not succeed the input buffer still
4651 * may have been written to but will have been restored exactly to its
