Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are +packed to minimise data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported +up to a maximum of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K). + +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. + +[Examples] +.TP +sqfscat IMAGE.SQFS hello +Output the contents of "hello" to stdout. +.TP +sqfscat IMAGE.SQFS hello world +Output the contents of "hello" and then "world" to stdout. +.TP +sqfscat IMAGE.SQFS "*.[ch]" +Output the contents of all the files in the root directory that match the +wildcard *.[ch], to stdout, e.g. hello.c, hello.h, world.c, world.h. +.PP +Note: when passing wildcarded names to Sqfscat, they should be quoted (as in +the above examples), to ensure that they are not processed by the shell. |
