Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
It uses either gzip/xz/lzo/lz4 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.
This package contains tools to manipulate squashfs archive files.
