  • Create or append files and directories to a squashfs filesystem (compressed using gzip by default):

mksquashfs {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}} {{filesystem.squashfs}}

  • Create or append files and directories to a squashfs filesystem, using a specific [comp]ression algorithm:

mksquashfs {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}} {{filesystem.squashfs}} -comp {{gzip|lzo|lz4|xz|zstd|lzma}}

  • Create or append files and directories to a squashfs filesystem, [e]xcluding some of them:

mksquashfs {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}} {{filesystem.squashfs}} -e {{file|directory1 file|directory2 ...}}

  • Create or append files and directories to a squashfs filesystem, [e]xcluding those ending with .gz:

mksquashfs {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}} {{filesystem.squashfs}} -wildcards -e "{{*.gz}}"

  • Create or append files and directories to a squashfs filesystem, [e]xcluding those matching a regular expression:

mksquashfs {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}} {{filesystem.squashfs}} -regex -e "{{regular_expression}}"
