SYNOPSIS
unsquashfs [OPTIONS] FILESYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
unsquashfs extracts and lists files from squashfs compressed filesystems. Squashfs is a read-only compressed filesystem commonly used for Linux distributions, live CDs, and embedded systems.
By default, files are extracted to a squashfs-root directory in the current working directory.

Extract to specified directory-i, -info
Display filenames during extraction-li, -linfo
Display filenames and attributes during extraction-l, -ls
