unsquashfs - tool to uncompress squashfs filesystems
unsquashfs [OPTIONS] FILESYSTEM
[directories or files to extract]
Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. It
uses zlib compression to compress both files, inodes and directories. Inodes
in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimize data
overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of
64K.
Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for
archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in
constrained block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low
overhead is needed.
- -v, -version
- print version, licence and copyright information.
- -d PATHNAME, -dest
PATHNAME
- unsquash to PATHNAME, default "squashfs-root".
- -n, -no-progress
- don't display the progress bar.
- -no, -no-xattrs
- don't extract xattrs in file system.
- -x, -xattrs
- extract xattrs in file system (default).
- -p NUMBER, -processors
NUMBER
- use NUMBER processors. By default will use number of processors
available.
- -i, -info
- print files as they are unsquashed.
- -li, -linfo
- print files as they are unsquashed with file attributes (like ls -l
output).
- -l, -ls
- list filesystem, but don't unsquash.
- -ll, -lls
- list filesystem with file attributes (like ls -l output), but don't
unsquash.
- -nl, -nls
- list filesystem with file attributes (like ls -n output), but don't
unsquash.
- -f, -force
- if file already exists then overwrite.
- -s, -stat
- display filesystem superblock information.
- -e EXTRACT_FILE, -ef
EXTRACT_FILE
- list of directories or files to extract. One per line.
- -da SIZE, -data-queue
SIZE
- Set data queue to SIZE Mbytes. Default 256 Mbytes.
- -fr SIZE, -frag-queue
SIZE
- Set fragment queue to SIZE Mbytes. Default 256 Mbytes.
- -r, -regex
- treat extract names as POSIX regular expressions rather than use the
default shell wildcard expansion (globbing).
