28 * \section intro Introduction
30 * wimlib is a C library to read, write, and mount archive files in the Windows
31 * Imaging Format (WIM files). These files are normally created using the @c
32 * imagex.exe utility on Windows, but this library provides a free
33 * implementetion of @c imagex for UNIX-based systems and an API to allow other
34 * programs to read, write, and mount WIM files. wimlib is comparable to
35 * Microsoft's WIMGAPI, but was designed independently and is not a clone of it.
37 * The main intended use of wimlib is to create customized images of Windows PE,
38 * the Windows Preinstallation Environment, without having to rely on Windows.
39 * Windows PE, which is the operating system that runs when you boot from the
40 * Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD, is a lightweight version of Windows that can
41 * run entirely from memory. It can be used to install Windows from local media
42 * or a network drive or perform maintenance.
44 * You can find Windows PE on the installation media for Windows Vista, Windows
45 * 7, and Windows 8. The Windows PE image itself is a WIM file, @c
46 * sources/boot.wim, on the ISO filesystem. Windows PE can also be found in the
47 * Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) inside the @c WinPE.cab file, which
48 * you can extract if you install the @c cabextract program.
50 * \section format WIM files
52 * A <b>Windows Imaging (WIM)</b> file is an archive. Like some other archive
53 * formats such as ZIP, files in WIM archives may be compressed. WIM archives
54 * support two Microsoft-specific compression formats: @b LZX and @b XPRESS.
55 * Both are based on LZ77 and Huffman encoding, and both are supported by
58 * Unlike ZIP files, WIM files can contain multiple independent toplevel
59 * directory trees known as @a images. While each image has its own metadata,
60 * files are not duplicated for each image; instead, each file is included only
61 * once in the entire WIM. Microsoft did this so that in one WIM file, they
62 * could do things like have 5 different versions of Windows that are almost
65 * WIM files may contain a integrity table. The integrity table, if it exists,
66 * is located at the end of the WIM file and contains SHA1 message digests of
67 * 10MB chunks of the WIM.
69 * Microsoft provides documentation for the WIM file format, XPRESS compression
70 * format, and LZX compression format. However, there are errors and omissions
71 * in some places in their documentation.
73 * \section starting Getting Started
75 * wimlib uses the GNU autotools, so it should be easy to install with
76 * <code>configure && make && sudo make install</code>, provided that you have
77 * @c libxml2 and @c libfuse installed. To use wimlib in a program after
78 * installing it, include @c wimlib.h and link your program with @c -lwim.
80 * wimlib wraps up a WIM file in an opaque ::WIMStruct structure.
82 * All functions in wimlib's public API are prefixed with @c wimlib. Most
83 * return an integer error code on failure. Use wimlib_get_error_string() to
84 * get a string that describes an error code. wimlib also can print error
85 * messages itself when an error happens, and these may be more informative than
86 * the error code; to enable this, call wimlib_set_print_errors().
88 * wimlib is thread-safe as long as different ::WIMStruct's are used, with the
89 * following exceptions: wimlib_set_print_errors() and
90 * wimlib_set_memory_allocator() apply globally, and wimlib_mount() can only be
91 * used by one ::WIMStruct at a time.
93 * To open an existing WIM, use wimlib_open_wim().
95 * To create a new WIM that initially contains no images, use
96 * wimlib_create_new_wim().
98 * To add an image to a WIM file from a directory tree on your filesystem, call
99 * wimlib_add_image(). This can be done with a ::WIMStruct gotten from
100 * wimlib_open_wim() or from wimlib_create_new_wim().
102 * To extract an image from a WIM file, call wimlib_set_output_dir() to set the
103 * output directory, then call wimlib_extract_image().
105 * wimlib supports mounting WIM files either read-only or read-write. Mounting
106 * is done using wimlib_mount() and unmounting is done using wimlib_unmount().
107 * Mounting can be done without root privileges because it is implemented using
108 * FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). If wimlib is compiled with the
109 * <code>--without-fuse</code> flag, these functions will be available but will
112 * After creating or modifying a WIM file, you can write it to a file using
113 * wimlib_write(). Alternatively, if the WIM was originally read from a file,
114 * you can use wimlib_overwrite() to overwrite the original file. In some
115 * cases, wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() can be used instead.
117 * After you are done with the WIM file, use wimlib_free() to free all memory
118 * associated with a ::WIMStruct and close all files associated with it.
120 * To see an example of how to use wimlib, see the file
121 * @c programs/imagex.c in wimlib's source tree.
123 * wimlib supports custom memory allocators; use wimlib_set_memory_allocator()
126 * \section imagex imagex
128 * wimlib comes with the <b>imagex</b> program, which is documented in man pages.
130 * \section mkwinpeimg mkwinpeimg
132 * wimlib comes with the <b>mkwinpeimg</b> script, which is documented in a man
135 * \section Limitations
137 * While wimlib supports the main features of WIM files, wimlib currently has
138 * the following limitations:
139 * - wimlib does not support modifying or creating "security data", which
140 * describes the access rights of the files in the WIM. This data is very
141 * Windows-specific, and it would be difficult to do anything with it.
142 * Microsoft's software can still read a WIM without security data, including
143 * a boot.wim for Windows PE, but <b>do not expect to be able to use wimlib to
144 * image a Windows installation and preserve file attributes</b>. However, by
145 * default, wimlib will preserve security data for existing WIMs.
146 * - There is no way to directly extract or mount split WIMs.
147 * - There is not yet any code to verify that there are no collisions between
148 * different files that happen to have the same SHA1 message digest.
149 * This is extremely unlikely, but could result in something bad such as a
150 * file going missing.
151 * - Alternate stream entries for directory entries are ignored.
152 * - Different versions of the WIM file format, if they even exist, are
153 * unsupported. Let me know if you notice WIM files with a different version.
154 * - Chunk sizes other than 32768 are unsupported (except for uncompressed WIMs,
155 * for which the chunk size field is ignored). As far as I can tell, other
156 * chunk sizes are not used in compressed WIMs. Let me know if you find a WIM
157 * file with a different chunk size.
158 * - wimlib does not provide a clone of the @b PEImg tool that allows you to
159 * make certain Windows-specific modifications to a Windows PE image, such as
160 * adding a driver or Windows component. Such a tool could conceivably be
161 * implemented on top of wimlib, although it likely would be hard to implement
162 * because it would have to do very Windows-specific things such as
163 * manipulating the driver store. wimlib does provide the @b mkwinpeimg
164 * script for a similar purpose, however. With regards to adding drivers to
165 * Windows PE, you have the option of putting them anywhere in the Windows PE
166 * image, then loading them after boot using @b drvload.exe.
167 * - There is not yet a way to extract specific files or directories from a WIM
168 * file without mounting it, or to add, remove, or modify files in a WIM
169 * without mounting it, other than by adding or removing an entire image. I
170 * can implement this if requested, but I intend the FUSE mount feature to be
171 * used for this purpose, as it is easy to do these things in whatever way you
172 * want after the image is mounted.
174 * Currently, Microsoft's @a image.exe can create slightly smaller WIM files
175 * than wimlib when using maximum (LZX) compression because it knows how to
176 * split up LZX compressed blocks, which is not yet implemented in wimlib.
178 * wimlib is experimental and likely contains bugs; use Microsoft's @a
179 * imagex.exe if you want to make sure your WIM files are made "correctly".
