image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
- These new WIM files can be created with Dism using '/compress recovery',
- or using `wimcapture' using '--pack-streams', although wimlib's LZMS
- compressor is not yet very good, the latter is not recommended. Note:
- this new WIM format is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but
- important segments of the raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will
- not be able to extract such files until they are first decrypted.

wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
