 Special thanks to <https://dr-emann.github.io/squashfs/> for some VERY important information in an easy to understand format.
 Thanks also to [distri's squashfs library](https://github.com/distr1/distri/tree/master/internal/squashfs) as I referenced it to figure some things out (and double check others).
