# The sysutils/squashfs-tools port

## squashfs-tools-4.4.1p0 – tools to create and extract Squashfs filesystems

## Description

    Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. It uses
    zlib 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
    64K.

    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.
