+/**
+ * @ingroup G_wim_information
+ *
+ * Read the XML data of a WIM file into an in-memory buffer. Every WIM file
+ * includes a string of XML that describes the images contained in the WIM.
+ *
+ * See wimlib_extract_xml_data() to extract the XML data to a file stream
+ * instead.
+ *
+ * @param wim
+ * Pointer to the ::WIMStruct for a WIM file, which does not necessarily
+ * have to be standalone (e.g. it could be part of a split WIM).
+ * @param buf_ret
+ * On success, a pointer to an allocated buffer containing the raw UTF16-LE
+ * XML data is written to this location.
+ * @param bufsize_ret
+ * The size of the XML data in bytes is written to this location.
+ *
+ * @return 0 on success; nonzero on error.
+ * @retval ::WIMLIB_ERR_INVALID_PARAM
+ * @p wim is not a ::WIMStruct that was created by wimlib_open_wim(), or
+ * @p buf_ret or @p bufsize_ret was @c NULL.
+ * @retval ::WIMLIB_ERR_NOMEM
+ * @retval ::WIMLIB_ERR_READ
+ * @retval ::WIMLIB_ERR_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_FILE
+ * Failed to read the XML data from the WIM.
