A PURE Go library to read and write squashfs.
|
|
|
|
Currently has support for reading squashfs files and extracting files and folders. Supports all compression types except LZO, but additional compression options are hit or miss.
|
|
|
|
The only major thing missing from squashfs reading is Xattr parsing.

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).

## Performane
|
|
|
|
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 libarary and about half a second with `unsquashfs`)
