NAME

   wimsplit - Split a WIM archive into multiple parts

SYNOPSIS

   wimsplit WIMFILE SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 PART_SIZE [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

   wimsplit,  or  equivalently  wimlib-imagex  split,  splits  WIMFILE  into  parts  with  size  at  most  PART_SIZE mebibytes (power-of-2 megabytes), with the first part having the name
   SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 and the other parts having names numbered in order of the parts.

   wimsplit can split both non-pipable and pipable WIMs.

OPTIONS

   --check
         Before splitting the WIM, verify its integrity if it contains extra integrity information.  Also include extra integrity information in each split WIM part, even if WIMFILE  did
         not contain it.

   --include-integrity
         Include extra integrity information in each split WIM part, i.e. like --check but don't also verify WIMFILE beforehand.

EXAMPLES

   Splits the WIM 'windows.wim' into 'windows.swm', 'windows2.swm', 'windows3.swm', etc. where each part is at most 100 MiB:

          wimsplit windows.wim windows.swm 100

LIMITATIONS

   It is possible for the size of the parts to exceed the PART_SIZE given.  This is impossible to avoid because the WIM file format provides no way to divide a single file resource among
   multiple  split  WIM  parts.   So if you, for example, have a file inside the WIM that is 100 MiB compressed, then the split WIM will have at least one part that is 100 MiB in size to
   contain that file.
