NAME

       wimlib-imagex-split - Split a WIM into multiple parts

SYNOPSIS

       wimlib-imagex split WIMFILE SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 PART_SIZE [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       Splits  WIMFILE  into  parts  with  size at most PART_SIZE mebibytes, with the first part having the name
       SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 and the other parts having names numbered in order of the parts.  This command  is  also
       available as simply wimsplit if the appropriate hard link or batch file has been installed.

       wimlib-imagex split can split both non-pipable and pipable WIMs.

OPTIONS

       --check
             When  reading  WIMFILE,  verify its integrity if the integrity table is present; additionally, when
             writing each split WIM part, write an integrity table.  If this option is not specified,  integrity
             tables will be included in the split WIMs if and only if one was present in WIMFILE.

EXAMPLES

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

              wimlib-imagex split 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 in the WIM among multiple
       split WIM parts.  So if you, for example,  have  a  file  inside  the  WIM  that  is  100  MiB,  then  an
       uncompressed  split  WIM  will  have  at  least  one  part  that is 100 MiB in size to contain that file.
       However, if the WIM resources are compressed then less space would be needed.
