The -prefix is stripped and the meta data for the directory itself is copied to the -root inode (i.e. the ownership, permissions, extended attributes, -modification time). - -If this option is not set, tar2sqfs implicitly treats \fB./\fR or absolute -paths this way, i.e. if the archive contains an entry for \fB./\fR, it becomes -the root node and the prefix is stripped from all paths (and similar for -absolute paths and \fB/\fR). -.TP -\fB\-\-compressor\fR, \fB\-c\fR <name> -Select the compressor to use. -Run \fBtar2sqfs \-\-help\fR to get a list of all available compressors -and the default selection. -.TP -\fB\-\-comp\-extra\fR, \fB\-X\fR <options> -A comma separated list of extra options for the selected compressor. Specify -\fBhelp\fR to get a list of available options. -.TP -\fB\-\-num\-jobs\fR, \fB\-j\fR <count> -If libsquashfs was compiled with a thread pool based, parallel data -compressor, this option can be used to set the number of compressor -threads. If not set, the default is the number of available CPU cores. -.TP -\fB\-\-queue\-backlog\fR, \fB\-Q\fR <count> -Maximum number of data blocks in the thread worker queue before the packer -starts waiting for the block processors to catch up. Higher values result -in higher memory consumption. Defaults to 10 times the number of workers. -.TP -\fB\-\-block\-size\fR, \fB\-b\fR <size> -Block size to use for SquashFS image. -Defaults to 131072. -.TP -\fB\-\-dev\-block\-size\fR, \fB\-B\fR <size> -Device block size to padd the image to. -Defaults to 4096. -.TP -\fB\-\-defaults\fR, \fB\-d\fR <options> -A comma separated list of default values for -implicitly created directories. -The following values can be set: -.TS -tab(;) allbox; -l l -l l -l l -l l -l l -rd. -\fBOption\fR;\fBDefault\fR -uid=<value>;0 -gid=<value>;0 -mode=<value>;0755 -mtime=<value>;\fB$SOURCE\_DATE\_EPOCH\fR if set, 0 otherwise -.TE -.TP -.TP -\fB\-\-no\-keep\-time\fR, \fB\-k\fR -Replace the time stamps from the tar archive with default time stamps for all -entries. - -The default behavior is to preserve the time stamps from the archive to the -extent possible (SquashFS has second resolution and 32 bit time stamps; tar can -use extensions to specify much larger timestamps with arbitrary precision). The -root inode (unless \fB\-\-root\-becomes\fR is used) and the modification time on -the SquashFS image itself will still be set to defaults. -.TP -\fB\-\-no\-xattr\fR, \fB\-x\fR -Do not copy extended attributes from archive. Default behaviour is to copy all -extended attributes and skip the ones that cannot be encoded in SquashFS. -.TP -\fB\-\-no\-skip\fR, \fB\-s\fR -Abort if a tar record cannot be read instead of skipping it. -.TP -\fB\-\-exportable\fR, \fB\-e\fR -Generate an export table for NFS support. -.TP -\fB\-\-no\-tail\-packing\fR, \fB\-T\fR -Do not perform tail end packing on files that are larger than the -specified block size. -.TP -\fB\-\-force\fR, \fB\-f\fR -Overwrite the output file if it exists. -.TP -\fB\-\-quiet\fR, \fB\-q\fR -Do not print out progress reports. -.TP -\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-h\fR -Print help text and exit. -.TP -\fB\-\-version\fR, \fB\-V\fR -Print version information and exit. -.SH COMPATIBILITY -Currently the program can process v7 format, pre-POSIX ustar, POSIX tar and GNU -tar archives. PAX extension headers are also supported. Global PAX headers are -ignored. - -The support for GNU tar is limited to commonly used subset (i.e. some legacy -extensions that GNU tar itself no longer generates are not supported; neither -are mutli volume archives). - -Extended attributes are supported through the SCHILY.xattr PAX extension -(favoured by GNU tar and star) or through the LIBARCHIVE.xattr PAX extension. - -If any unsupported section or extended attribute key is encountered in an -archive, a warning message is written to stderr. If the \fB\-\-no\-skip\fR -option is set, processing aborts. By default, unknown sections and unsupported -extended attributes are simply skipped after issuing a warning. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -If the command line switch \fB\-\-defaults\fR is not used or no default mtime -is specified, the value of the environment variable \fBSOURCE\_DATE\_EPOCH\fR -is used for all file and filesystem timestamps. - -If \fBSOURCE\_DATE\_EPOCH\fR is not set, not a parsable number or it is out of -range, the timestamps default to 0. - -Environment variables are only used if no explicit command line switches -are set. Explicit command line switches are always preferred over the -environment variables. -.SH EXAMPLES -.TP -Turn an uncompressed tar archive into a SquashFS image: -.IP -tar2sqfs rootfs.sqfs < rootfs.tar -.TP -Turn a gzip'ed tar archive into a SquashFS image: -.IP -zcat rootfs.tar.gz | tar2sqfs rootfs.sqfs -.TP -Turn an LZMA2 compressed tar archive into a SquashFS image: -.IP -xzcat rootfs.tar.xz | tar2sqfs rootfs.sqfs -.SH SEE ALSO -gensquashfs(1), rdsquashfs(1), sqfs2tar(1) -.SH AUTHOR -Written by David Oberhollenzer. -.SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright \(co 2019 David Oberhollenzer -License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <https://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>. -.br -This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. -There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. |
