## DESCRIPTION

A squashfs is a compressed read-only file system. Use the `&dhpackage;` program to decompress and extract a Squash file system without mounting it. `&dhpackage;` is able to extract the entire file system or a specific file or directory.

## OPTIONS

`-v[ersion]`

  print version, licence and copyright message.

`-i[nfo]`

  print files as they are unsquashed.

`-li[info]`

  print files as they are unsquashed with file attributes (like ls -l output).

`-l[s]`

  list filesystem only, doesn't decompress anything.

`-ll[s]`

  list filesystem only with file attributes, doesn't decompress anything.

`-d[est] pathname`

  decompress to pathname. This default to squashfs-root.

`-f[orce]`

  if file already exists then overwrite.

`-s[tat]`

  display filesystem superblock information.

`-e[f] extract file`

  list of directories or files to extract. One per line.

`-r[egex]`

  treat extract names as POSIX regular expressions rather than use the default shell wildcard expansion (globbing).
