NAME

       rdsquashfs - tool to examine or uncompress SquashFS filesystems

SYNOPSIS

       rdsquashfs [OPTIONS] <squashfs-file>

DESCRIPTION

       View or extract the contents of a squashfs image.

       The  following  options can be used to specify what operation to perform. One of those has
       to be present:

       --list, -l <path>
              Produce a directory listing similar to ls -l for  a  given  path  in  the  SquashFS
              image.

       --cat, -c <path>
              If  the  specified  path  is  a  regular file in the image, extract it and dump its
              contents to stdout.

       --xattr, -x <path>
              If the inode that the specified path resolves to has extended attributes, dump them
              as key value pairs to stdout.

       --unpack-path, -u <path>
              Unpack  the  specified  sub  directory from the image. To unpack everything, simply
              specify /.

       --describe, -d
              Produce a file listing from the  image  compatible  with  the  format  consumed  by
              gensquashfs.

       The following options can be used to control the behaviour of the specified operation:

       --unpack-root, -p <path>
              If  used  with  --unpack-path,  this is where the data is unpacked to. If used with
              --describe, this is used as a prefix for the input path of regular files.

       --no-dev, -D
              Skip device special files when parsing the filesystem tree.

       --no-sock, -S
              Skip socket files when parsing the filesystem tree.

       --no-fifo, -F
              Skip named pipes files when parsing the filesystem tree.

       --no-slink, -L
              Skip symbolic links when parsing the filesystem tree.

       --no-empty-dir, -E
              Skip directories that would end up empty after applying the above rules.

       The following options are specific to unpacking files from a SquashFS image to disk:

       --no-sparse, -Z
              Do not create sparse files. Always unpack sparse files by writing blocks  of  zeros
              to disk.

       --set-xattr, -X
              Set the extended attributes from the SquashFS image.

       --set-times, -T
              Set  the  create  and  modify timestamps of the file to the mtime from the SquashFS
              image.

       --chmod, -C
              Change permission flags of unpacked files to those store in the SquashFS image.

       --chown, -O
              Change ownership of unpacked files to the UID/GID set in the SquashFS image.

       --quiet, -q
              Do not print out progress while unpacking.

       Other options:

       --help, -h
              Print help text and exit.

       --version, -V
              Print version information and exit.
