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 at-
	    tributes, dump them as key value pairs to stdout.

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

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

     --stat, -s <path>
	    Dump all available information about the inode that the path  refers
	    to, including SquashFS specific internals such as the on-disk layout
	    of	a  file or the fast lookup index stored in an extended directory
	    inode.

     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 when parsing the filesystem tree.

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

     --no-empty-dir, -E
	    Skip empty directories, including ones that are 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 stored 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.
