+\fB--check\fR
When reading \fIWIMFILE\fR, verify its integrity if the integrity table is
-present; include an integrity table in the optimized WIM. If this option is not
-specified and \fIWIMFILE\fR, no integrity table is included in the optimized
-WIM, even if there was one before.
+present; in addition, include an integrity table in the optimized WIM. If this
+option is not specified, no integrity table is included in the optimized WIM,
+even if there was one before.
+.TP 6
+\fB--recompress\fR
+Recompress all compressed streams in \fIWIMFILE\fR when rebuilding it. This
+will increase the time needed to rebuild the WIM,unless the WIM is uncompressed,
+but it may result in a better compression ratio if wimlib can do a better job
+than the program that wrote the original file. A side effect of this is that
+every stream in the original WIM will be checksummed, so this can help verify
+that the WIM is intact (equivalent to applying all the images from it).
.SH NOTES
\fBimagex optimize\fR does not support split WIMs.
+\fBimagex optimize\fR is roughly equivalent to:

+.PP
+\fBimagex export\fR \fIWIMFILE\fR all tmp.wim [--check] && mv tmp.wim \fIWIMFILE\fR
