+ * WIM path lookup: translate a path in the currently selected WIM image to the
+ * corresponding dentry, if it exists.
+ *
+ * @wim
+ * The WIMStruct for the WIM. The search takes place in the currently
+ * selected image.
+ *
+ * @path
+ * The path to look up, given relative to the root of the WIM image.
+ * Characters with value WIM_PATH_SEPARATOR are taken to be path
+ * separators. Leading path separators are ignored, whereas one or more
+ * trailing path separators cause the path to only match a directory.
+ *
+ * @case_type
+ * The case-sensitivity behavior of this function, as one of the following
+ * constants:
+ *
+ * - WIMLIB_CASE_SENSITIVE: Perform the search case sensitively. This means
+ * that names must match exactly.
+ *
+ * - WIMLIB_CASE_INSENSITIVE: Perform the search case insensitively. This
+ * means that names are considered to match if they are equal when
+ * transformed to upper case. If a path component matches multiple names
+ * case-insensitively, the name that matches the path component
+ * case-sensitively is chosen, if existent; otherwise one
+ * case-insensitively matching name is chosen arbitrarily.
+ *
+ * - WIMLIB_CASE_PLATFORM_DEFAULT: Perform either case-sensitive or
+ * case-insensitive search, depending on the value of the global variable
+ * default_ignore_case.
+ *
+ * In any case, no Unicode normalization is done before comparing strings.
+ *
+ * Returns a pointer to the dentry that is the result of the lookup, or NULL if
+ * no such dentry exists. If NULL is returned, errno is set to one of the
+ * following values:
+ *
+ * ENOTDIR if one of the path components used as a directory existed but
+ * was not, in fact, a directory.
+ *
+ * ENOENT otherwise.
+ *
+ * Additional notes:
+ *
+ * - This function does not consider a reparse point to be a directory, even
+ * if it has FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY set.
+ *
+ * - This function does not dereference symbolic links or junction points
+ * when performing the search.
+ *
+ * - Since this function ignores leading slashes, the empty path is valid and
+ * names the root directory of the WIM image.
+ *
+ * - An image added with wimlib_add_empty_image() does not have a root
+ * directory yet, and this function will fail with ENOENT for any path on
+ * such an image.
