New set of tools for working with SquashFS images - shared library

Description

SquashFS is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux, optimized for small size and high packing density. It is widely used in embedded systems and bootable live media.

SquashFS supports many different compression formats, such as zstd, xz, zlib or lzo for both data and metadata compression. It has many features expected from popular filesystems, such as extended attributes and support for NFS export.

As the name suggests, this is not the original user space tooling for SquashFS. Here are some of the features that primarily distinguish this package from the original:

- reproducible SquashFS images, i.e. deterministic packing without

any local time stamps,

- Linux `gen_init_cpio` like file listing for micro managing the

file system contents, permissions, and ownership without having to

replicate the file system (and especially permissions) locally,

- support for SELinux contexts file (see selabel_file(5)) to generate

SELinux labels.

This package contains the C libraries needed to run executables that use the squashfs-tools-ng library.
