a shell wildcard.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-
-.IP
-imagex join windows.wim windows*.swm
-.LP
-Join a split WIM, with the parts named `windows*.swm' where the * is anything
-(usually the number of the part, except for the first part which may have no
-number), and write the joined with to the file `windows.wim'.
.SH OPTIONS

write an integrity table. If this option is not specified, no integrity table
is included in the new WIM file, even if there was one before.
