+unsquashfs - tool to uncompress, extract and list squashfs filesystems
+
+[Description]
+Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
+It uses either gzip/xz/lzo/lz4/zstd compression to compress both files, inodes
+and directories. 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
+unsquashfs IMAGE.SQFS
+Extract IMAGE.SQFS to "squashfs-root" in the current working directory.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -d output IMAGE.SQFS
+Extract IMAGE.SQFS to "output" in the current working directory.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -d . IMAGE.SQFS
+Extract IMAGE.SQFS to current working directory.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -linfo IMAGE.SQFS
+Output a listing of IMAGE.SQFS with file attributes to stdout, while extracting
+the filesystem to "squashfs-root".
+.TP
+unsquashfs -lls IMAGE.SQFS
+Output a listing of IMAGE.SQFS with file attributes to stdout, but do not
+extract the filesystem. The listing will be prefixed with "squashfs-root".
+.TP
+unsquashfs -d "" -lls IMAGE.SQFS
+Output a listing of IMAGE.SQFS with file attributes to stdout, but do not
+extract the filesystem. The listing will not be prefixed with "squashfs-root".
+.TP
+unsquashfs IMAGE.SQFS fs/squashfs
+Extract only the "fs/squashfs" directory.
+.TP
+unsquashfs IMAGE.SQFS "[Tt]est/example*"
+Extract all files beginning with "example" inside top level directories
+called "Test" or "test".
+.TP
+unsquashfs -excludes IMAGE.SQFS "test/*data*.gz"
+This will extract everything except for files that match *data*.gz in the
+test directory. The -excludes option tells Unsquashfs to exclude the files
+on the command line rather than extract them.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -excludes IMAGE.SQFS "... *.gz"
+This will extract everything except for files that match *.gz anywhere
+in the image. The "..." means this is a non-anchored exclude which
+matches anywhere.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -ex "test/*data*.gz" \; IMAGE.SQFS test
+This uses both extract and exclude options, to tell Unsquashfs to only
+extract the "test" directory, and to exclude any files within it that
+match *data*.gz.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -ex "... *.gz" IMAGE.SQFS test
+This uses both extract and exclude options, to tell Unsquashfs to only
+extract the "test" directory, and to exclude files which match "*.gz"
+anywhere within "test" directory or sub-directories.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -dest output -max-depth 2 IMAGE.SQFS
+Extract only the top two levels of IMAGE.SQFS to "output" directory.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -max-depth 2 IMAGE.SQFS "test/*.gz"
+Only extract the gzipped files in the test directory.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -llc -max-depth 2 IMAGE.SQFS "test/*.gz"
+Output a listing of the gzipped files in the test directory to stdout,
+but do not extract them.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -no-xattrs IMAGE.SQFS
+Do not extract any extended attributes. Any extended attributes in the
+filesystem will be ignored.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -xattrs-include "^user." IMAGE.SQFS
+Filter the extended attributes and only extract extended attributes in the
+user namespace from the Squashfs filesystem.
+.TP
+unsquashfs -xattrs-exclude "^user." IMAGE.SQFS
+Filter the extended attributes and do not extract any extended attributes in
+the user namespace from the Squashfs filesystem.
+.PP
+Note: when passing wildcarded names to Unsquashfs, they should be quoted (as in
+the above examples), to ensure that they are not processed by the shell.
