  • 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}}"
