Is there any tool to examine an existing squashfs image and and find out compression ratios per file?
Bonus points if it helps me can estimate the flash usage of statically linked symbols in a huge executable.
My ruby squashfs implementation makes this pretty easy to implement. Check out this revision: https://github.com/vasi/squash.rb/tree/9bac822ac08892a9764fb92314cad4066742ce06
Note that squashfs bunches up small files (and the tail ends of large files) and compresses these 'fragments' together. It's impossible to figure out exactly how much each file contributes to these bunches, so I estimated that part.
