natively support Windows-specific and NTFS-specific data. They therefore act

As of wimlib v1.6.0, a third compression type, "recovery" or "LZMS", is also
available. Its use is generally not recommended because other than wimlib
-itself, as of Windows 8 it is only compatible with WIMGAPI and Windows Setup
-(not even ImageX or Dism). However, LZMS is the compression algorithm used in

packed resources created if the \fB--pack-streams\fR option is specified.

With \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@\fR on UNIX-like systems, it is possible to create a
WIM image containing files with names differing only in case, or files with
WIMs captured with a non-default chunk size (with the \fB--chunk-size\fR option)

First example: Create a new WIM 'mywim.wim' with "maximum" (LZX) compression
that will contain a captured image of the directory tree 'somedir'. Note that
