squashfuse-zig

SquashFS implementation in Zig, modeled after squashfuse

Active/ complete goals:

Library usage in line with Zig stdlib
- (Partial) Dir implementation
- Move Inode methods into Dir and File structs
- File struct
Performance; choose the fastest decompression libraries by default (being done for the CLI tool by default via libdeflate)
(Partial) Compatibility with existing squashfuse tools

Future goals:

Writing?
Multithreading

Importing example:

build.zig.zon

.{
    .name = "import_example",
    .version = "0.0.0",
    .minimum_zig_version = "0.13.0",

    .dependencies = .{
        .squashfuse = .{
