.SH NAME
wimlib-imagex-apply \- Extract one image, or all images, from a WIM archive
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP \[bu] 4
Encrypted files will not be extracted.

-wimlib v1.7.0 and later: Sparse file attributes will not be extracted (same
-behavior as ImageX/DISM/WIMGAPI). wimlib v1.6.2 and earlier: Although sparse
-file attributes will be applied, the full data will be extracted to each sparse
-file, so extracted "sparse" files may not actually contain any sparse regions.
+Sparse file attributes will not be extracted.

Regardless, since almost all information from the WIM image is restored in this
mode, it is possible (and fully supported) to restore an image of an actual
set if the user does not have permission to set them, which can be a problem if
\fBwimlib-imagex\fR is run as a non-Administrator.

Since encrypted files (with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYPTED) are not stored in
plaintext in the WIM image, \fBwimlib-imagex\fR cannot restore encrypted
files to filesystems not supporting encryption. Therefore, on such filesystems,

with the exception of the first part, which must be first.
