NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       rdsquashfs [OPTIONS] <squashfs-file>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       View or extract the contents of a squashfs image.
13
14       The following options can be used to specify what operation to perform.
15       One of those has to be present:
16
17       --list, -l <path>
18              Produce a directory listing similar to ls -l for a given path in
19              the SquashFS image.
20
21       --cat, -c <path>
22              If the specified path is a regular file in the image, extract it
23              and dump its contents to stdout.
24
25       --xattr, -x <path>
26              If the inode that the specified path resolves  to  has  extended
27              attributes, dump them as key value pairs to stdout.
28
29       --unpack-path, -u <path>
30              Unpack the specified sub directory from the image. To unpack ev‐
31              erything, simply specify /.
32
33       --describe, -d
34              Produce a file listing from the image compatible with the format
35              consumed by gensquashfs.
36
37       --stat, -s <path>
38              Dump  all  available  information  about the inode that the path
39              refers to, including SquashFS specific internals such as the on-
40              disk  layout of a file or the fast lookup index stored in an ex‐
41              tended directory inode.
42
43       The following options can be used to control the behaviour of the spec‐
44       ified operation:
45
46       --unpack-root, -p <path>
47              If  used  with --unpack-path, this is where the data is unpacked
48              to. If used with --describe, this is used as a  prefix  for  the
49              input path of regular files.
50
51       --no-dev, -D
52              Skip device special files when parsing the filesystem tree.
53
54       --no-sock, -S
55              Skip socket files when parsing the filesystem tree.
56
57       --no-fifo, -F
58              Skip named pipes when parsing the filesystem tree.
59
60       --no-slink, -L
61              Skip symbolic links when parsing the filesystem tree.
62
63       --no-empty-dir, -E
64              Skip  empty directories, including ones that are empty after ap‐
65              plying the above rules.
66
67       The following options are specific to unpacking files from  a  SquashFS
68       image to disk:
69
70       --no-sparse, -Z
71              Do  not create sparse files. Always unpack sparse files by writ‐
72              ing blocks of zeros to disk.
73
74       --set-xattr, -X
75              Set the extended attributes from the SquashFS image.
76
77       --set-times, -T
78              Set the create and modify timestamps of the file  to  the  mtime
79              from the SquashFS image.
80
81       --chmod, -C
82              Change permission flags of unpacked files to those stored in the
83              SquashFS image.
84
85       --chown, -O
86              Change ownership of unpacked files to the  UID/GID  set  in  the
87              SquashFS image.
88
89       --quiet, -q
90              Do not print out progress while unpacking.
91
92       Other options:
93
94       --help, -h
95              Print help text and exit.
96
97       --version, -V
98              Print version information and exit.
