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',  'win-
     dows3.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 con-
     tain that file.
