unsquashfs: Extract a squashfs filesystem to `squashfs-root` in the current working directory.
$ unsquashfs ${filesystem-squashfs}
try on your machine
The command unsquashfs
is used to extract the contents of a SquashFS file system. SquashFS is a compressed read-only file system used mainly in Linux environments.
The ${filesystem-squashfs}
part is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual file path of the SquashFS file you want to extract. For example, if the SquashFS file is named myfilesystem.squashfs
and it is located in the current directory, the command would be:
unsquashfs myfilesystem.squashfs
When the command is executed, it will extract the contents of the SquashFS file system and create the respective directory structure with files and folders in the current directory. The extracted files can then be accessed and used as needed.
