Module read

Facilities for reading SquashFS archives.

The most common scenario for using this library is:

1. To open a SquashFS file, use [Archive::new].
2. Call get to retrieve a Node by its path.
3. Call data to get a Data object containing the node’s data.

Node also provides methods for inspecting metadata, resolving symlinks, and conveniently converting to file and directory objects.

let archive = Archive::open("archive.sfs")?;
match archive.get("/etc/passwd")? {
    None => println!("File not present"),
    Some(node) => if let Data::File(file) = node.data()? {
        println!("{}", file.to_string()?);
    },
}
