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.


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.
