Mount a squashfs archive with fuse

Usage

squashfuse [-o options] archive mountpoint

Overview

squashfuse mounts the SquashFS filesystem archive on the directory mountpoint. The filesystem can be unmounted using umount(8) or fusermount(8). The squashfuse implementation is single-threaded.

Options supported by the fuse(8) library are supported. In addition the following options are supported:

-o offset=N

offset N bytes into archive to mount

-o subdir=PATH

mount subdirectory PATH as filesystem root

-o notify_pipe=PATH

named pipe that will receive 's' (success) or 'f' (failure) when the mountpoint is ready

Here is a selection of generally useful FUSE library options:

-h, --help

print help

-V, --version

show FUSE version

-d, -o debug

enable debug output (implies -f)

-f

foreground operation

-o allow_other

allow access by other users

-o allow_root

allow access by the superuser
