A PURE Go library to read and write squashfs.
|
|
|
|
Currently has support for reading squashfs files and extracting files and folders.
|
|
|
|
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).

|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
* No Xattr parsing. This is simply because I haven't done any research on it and how to apply these in a pure go way.
|
|

|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
This library, decompressing the Firefox AppImage and using go tests, takes about twice as long as `unsquashfs` on my quad core laptop. (~1 second with the library and about half a second with `unsquashfs`).
|
|
|
|
**My recents tests have shown the Firefox AppImage might be an outlier and this library might be considerably slower (4x ~ 6x time slower then `unsquashfs`)**
