🗜️ Squishy

License: MIT

A convenient wrapper around the backhand library for reading and extracting files from SquashFS filesystems. Provides both a library and CLI tool.

Features

  • Read and extract files from SquashFS filesystems
  • Traverse filesystem entries
  • Handle symlinks with cycle detection
  • Search for files using custom predicates

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
squishy = "0.2.1"

Example

use squishy::{SquashFS, EntryKind};
use std::path::Path;

// Open a SquashFS file
let squashfs = SquashFS::from_path(&Path::new("example.squashfs"))?;

// List all entries
for entry in squashfs.entries() {
    println!("{}", entry.path.display());
}

// Optionally, parallel read with rayon
use rayon::iter::ParallelIterator;
for entry in squashfs.par_entries() {
    println!("{}", entry.path.display());
}

// Write file entries to disk
for entry in squashfs.entries() {
    if let EntryKind::File(file) = entry.kind {
        squashfs.write_file(file, "/path/to/output/file")?;
    }
}

// Read a specific file
// Note: the whole file content will be loaded into memory
let contents = squashfs.read_file("path/to/file.txt")?;
