.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-
\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR displays information about \fIWIMFILE\fR, and optionally
changes which image is bootable, or what the name and description of an image
are.
-
+This command is also available as simply \fBwiminfo\fR if the appropriate hard
+link or batch file has been installed.
+.PP
If neither an image nor any flags other than \fB--check\fR are specified, some
basic information about the WIM archive as well as information about the images
-contained in it will be printed. If an image is specified (as a 1-based image
-index or an image name), the printed information is restricted to that
-concerning the specified image.
-
+contained in it will be printed. If an image is specified by \fIIMAGE\fR (as a
+1-based image index or an image name), the printed information is restricted to
+that concerning the specified image.
+.PP
Changes to the WIM are made if \fINEW_NAME\fR and/or \fB--boot\fR are specified.
-\fINEW_NAME\fR is taken to be the new name of the image specified by
-\fIIMAGE_NUM\fR or \fIIMAGE_NAME\fR, while \fINEW_DESC\fR is taken to be its new
-description. If \fINEW_DESC\fR is not specified, the image's description is
-unchanged.
-
+\fINEW_NAME\fR is taken to be the new name of the image specified by \fIIMAGE\fR
+while \fINEW_DESC\fR is taken to be its new description. If \fINEW_DESC\fR is
+not specified, the image's description is unchanged.
+.PP
\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR does not support modifying a split WIM, although you may
display information about one.
-
-.SH NOTES
-
-The possible modifications to \fIWIMFILE\fR by \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR are made
-quickly without re-building the entire WIM. \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR will only take a
-significant amount of time to complete if \fB--check\fR is specified when the
-WIM previously had no integrity table.
-
-Aborting an \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR command that modifies \fIWIMFILE\fR is unlikely to
-result in corruption of \fIWIMFILE\fR. Even if \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR is aborted
-while the integrity table is being calculated (with \fB--check\fR), the WIM
-should be in a consistent state with any changes to the bootable index,
-name, or description of the specified image committed.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP 6
\fB--boot\fR
When reading \fIWIMFILE\fR, verify its integrity if the integrity table is
present; additionally if an action that requires modifying the WIM archive is
specified, include an integrity table in the modified WIM. If this option is
-not specified and \fIWIMFILE\fR is modified, no integrity table is included in
-the modified WIM, even if there was one before.
+not specified and \fIWIMFILE\fR is modified, an integrity table will be included
+in the modified WIM if and only if there was one before.
+.TP
+\fB--nocheck\fR
+If an action that requires modifying the WIM archive is specified, do not
+include an integrity table in the modified WIM. If this option is not specified
+and \fIWIMFILE\fR is modified, an integrity table will be included in the
+modified WIM if and only if there was one before.
.TP
-\fB--extract-xml\fR \fIFILE\fR
+\fB--extract-xml\fR=\fIFILE\fR
Extracts the raw data from the XML resource in the WIM file to \fIFILE\fR.
Note: the XML data will be encoded using UTF-16LE, and it will begin with a
byte-order mark.
