It may be a 1-based -index of an image in the WIM or the name of an image in the WIM. Use the -\fBwimlib-imagex info\fR (1) command to list the images a WIM file contains. -\fIIMAGE\fR may be omitted if \fIWIMFILE\fR contains only one image. -.PP -The modifications to perform on the WIM image are specified as a sequence of -commands, one per line, read in a text file from standard input. It is -recommended that standard input be redirected from a file (\fICMDFILE\fR), as -shown above, rather than typing in commands interactively. Alternatively, to -specify a command directly on the command line, see the \fB--command\fR option. -.SH AVAILABLE COMMANDS -This section documents the commands that may appear in the \fICMDFILE\fR -described above. -.SS \fBadd\fR [\fIOPTION\fR...] \fISOURCE\fR \fIDESTINATION\fR -Add a file or directory tree to the WIM image. \fISOURCE\fR must specify the -path to a file or directory on your filesystem. \fIDESTINATION\fR must specify -the path inside the WIM image at which to add the file or directory tree. -.PP -If \fIDESTINATION\fR names an existing directory in the WIM image, then -\fISOURCE\fR must also name a directory. This causes the contents of the -\fISOURCE\fR directory to be added to the \fIDESTINATION\fR directory. -.PP -If \fIDESTINATION\fR names an existing nondirectory file in the WIM image, then -\fISOURCE\fR must also name a nondirectory file. By default, this causes the -\fIDESTINATION\fR file to be replaced with the \fISOURCE\fR file. Or, with -\fB--no-replace\fR specified, this generates an error. -.PP -If \fIDESTINATION\fR does not exist in the WIM image, then any prerequisite -directories are created as needed to add the \fISOURCE\fR at that location. -.PP -The \fBadd\fR command supports a subset of the options accepted by -\fBwimlib-imagex capture\fR; namely, \fB--dereference\fR, -\fB--unix-data\fR, \fB--no-acls\fR, and \fB--strict-acls\fR. See -\fBwimlib-imagex-capture\fR (1) for explanations of these options. -.PP -In addition, the \fBadd\fR command supports the \fB--no-replace\fR option, which -causes the \fBadd\fR command to refuse to overwrite existing nondirectory files -in the WIM image. -.SS \fBdelete\fR [\fIOPTION\fR...] \fIPATH\fR -Delete a file or directory tree from the WIM image. \fIPATH\fR must specify the -path inside the WIM image of the file or directory tree to delete. -.PP -The available options for the \fBdelete\fR command are: -.TP 6 -\fB--force\fR -Do not issue an error if the path to delete does not exist. -.TP -\fB--recursive\fR -Delete the file or directory tree recursively; if not specified, an error is -issued if the path to delete is a directory. -.SS \fBrename\fR \fIOLD_PATH\fR \fINEW_PATH\fR -Rename a file or directory tree inside the WIM image. \fIOLD_PATH\fR must -specify the old path of the file or directory tree inside the WIM image, and -\fINEW_PATH\fR must specify the new path for the file or directory tree. This -command follows the semantics of the POSIX \fBrename\fR (3) function; in -particular, a pre-existing file at \fINEW_PATH\fR will be deleted if present, -except in certain cases such as attempting to rename a directory to a -non-directory, which is not allowed. -.PP -There are no options available for the \fBrename\fR command. -.SH OPTIONS -The following options are accepted on the command line by \fBwimlib-imagex -update\fR itself: -.TP 6 -\fB--dereference\fR -Use \fB--dereference\fR for all \fBadd\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--unix-data\fR -Use \fB--unix-data\fR for all \fBadd\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--no-acls\fR -Use \fB--no-acls\fR for all \fBadd\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--strict-acls\fR -Use \fB--strict-acls\fR for all \fBadd\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--no-replace\fR -Use \fB--no-replace\fR for all \fBadd\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--config\fR=\fIFILE\fR -Set the capture configuration file for all \fBadd\fR commands. See the -description of this option in \fBwimlib-imagex-capture\fR (1). -.TP -\fB--force\fR -Use \fB--force\fR for all \fBdelete\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--recursive\fR -Use \fB--recursive\fR for all \fBdelete\fR commands. -.TP -\fB--check\fR -When reading \fIWIMFILE\fR, verify its integrity if the integrity table is -present; in addition, include an integrity table in the updated WIM. If this -option is not specified, an integrity table will be included in the updated WIM -if and only if one was present before. -.TP -\fB--threads\fR=\fINUM_THREADS\fR -Number of threads to use for compressing newly added files. Default: autodetect -(number of processors). -.TP -\fB--rebuild\fR -Rebuild the entire WIM rather than appending the updated data to the end of it. -Rebuilding the WIM is slower, but will save a little bit of space that would -otherwise be left as a hole in the WIM file. -.IP -See \fBwimlib-imagex-optimize\fR (1) for a more customizable way of -rebuilding (and optionally recompressing) a WIM file. If running -\fBwimlib-imagex optimize\fR after \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR, there is -no need to specify \fB--rebuild\fR to \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR. -.TP -\fB--command\fR=\fISTRING\fR -Instead of reading update commands from standard input, read a single update -command directly from the string \fISTRING\fR specified on the command line. -This option cannot be provided more than one time and cannot be used to specify -more than one update command. Note that the \fISTRING\fR, as well as any -paths containing spaces within the \fISTRING\fR must be appropriately quoted. -If running from cmd.exe on Windows, you should use double quotes for the outer -quotes and single quotes for the inner quotes. Example: -.RS -.RS -.PP -.nf -wimlib-imagex update boot.wim 1 \\ -.br -.RS ---command="add 'C:\\My Dir' '\\My Dir'" -.RE -.RE -.RE -.fi -.IP -This option is provided for convenience only. Do not execute -\fBwimlib-imagex update\fR multiple consecutive times, each time passing the -\fB--command\fR option! This is inefficient. Instead, generate an update -command file and provide it (on standard input) to a single invocation of -\fBwimlib-imagex update\fR, as explained in this document. -.TP -\fB--wimboot-config\fR=\fIFILE\fR -If this option is specified, no commands shall be read from standard input, and -instead the following command shall be executed: -.IP -.nf -.RS -.RS -\fBadd\fR \fIFILE\fR /Windows/System32/WimBootCompress.ini -.RE -.RE -.fi -.IP -This sets \fIFILE\fR as the WIMBoot configuration file for the image. The -[PrepopulateList] section of this file specifies path globs that shall not be -extracted as WIMBoot pointer files (perhaps due to being needed early in the -boot process). See the documentation for the \fB--wimboot\fR option of -\fBwimlib-imagex apply\fR (1) for more information. -.SH NOTES -\fBwimlib-imagex update\fR is partly redundant with \fBwimlib-imagex -mountrw\fR, since if a WIM image can be mounted read-write, then there -theoretically is no need for \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR. The main advantage -of \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR is that it works on both UNIX-like systems and -Windows, whereas \fBwimlib-imagex mountrw\fR is only available on UNIX-like -systems, and even then it only works on those with a compatible FUSE -implementation. -.PP -Symbolic links inside a WIM image are not dereferenced when being interpreted. -So, for example, if you have a WIM image that contains a symbolic link -"/Documents and Settings" -> "/Users" where "/Users" is a directory, then a -subdirectory named "Public" in this directory must be specified as -"/Users/Public" rather than "/Documents and Settings/Public". -.PP -All paths to files or directories within the WIM image must be specified -relative to the root of the image. However, the leading slash is optional, and -both forward slashes and backslashes are accepted. In addition, on Windows, the -paths are by default treated case-insensitively, while on UNIX-like systems, the -paths are by default treated case-sensitively. The default case sensitivity may -be changed by setting the \fBWIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE\fR environmental -variable to 0 or 1. -.PP -The command file (\fICMDFILE\fR) is parsed by \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR -itself and not by the system shell. Therefore, its syntax is limited. However, -comment lines beginning with '#' are allowed, and it is also possible to quote -arguments with whitespace inside them. -.PP -On UNIX-like systems, you cannot use \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR to add files -to an image directly from an NTFS volume using libntfs-3g, even though -\fBwimlib-imagex capture\fR supports capturing a full image this way. -.PP -It is safe to abort an \fBwimlib-imagex update\fR command partway through; -however, after doing this, it is recommended to run \fBwimlib-imagex -optimize\fR to remove any data that was appended to the physical WIM file but -not yet incorporated into the structure of the WIM, unless \fB--rebuild\fR was -specified, in which case you should delete the temporary file left over. -.SH EXAMPLES -All the examples below show the update command file to be created as well as the -\fBwimlib-imagex update\fR command to run to perform the updates. -.PP -Delete two files from a WIM image: -.PP -.RS -\fIupdate_commands.txt\fR: -.RS -.PP -.nf -delete /setup.exe -delete /sources/setup.exe -.fi -.RE -.RE -.PP -.RS -$ wimlib-imagex update boot.wim 2 < update_commands.txt -.RE -.PP -Add some files and directories to a WIM image.
