+.SH SPLIT WIMS
+
+You may use \fBimagex export\fR to export images from a split WIM.  The
+\fISRC_WIMFILE\fR argument is used to specify the first part of the split WIM, and
+the \fB--refs\fR="\fIGLOB\fR" option is used to provide a shell-style file glob
+that specifies the additional parts of the split WIM.  \fIGLOB\fR is expected to
+be a single string on the command line, so \fIGLOB\fR must be quoted so that it
+is protected against shell expansion.  \fIGLOB\fR must expand to all parts of
+the split WIM, except optionally the first part which may either omitted or
+included in the glob (but the first part MUST be specified as \fISRC_WIMFILE\fR as
+well).
+
+Here's an example.  The names for the split WIMs usually go something like:
