SquashFS compressed filesystem reader in pure OCaml
squashfs: Add SquashFS filesystem writer
Add Squashfs.Writer module for creating SquashFS compressed filesystem
images:
- Full entry type support: files, directories, symlinks, devices, fifos,
sockets
- Gzip compression via bytesrw.zlib
- Automatic parent directory creation
- Path validation (rejects absolute paths and traversal)
- Block size configuration (4KB-1MB, power of 2)
- Statistics tracking (file/dir/symlink/device counts)
- Streaming output via bytesrw writer
Also fixes superblock field offsets in reader to match squashfs spec:
- offset 48: id_table_start
- offset 64: inode_table_start
- offset 72: directory_table_start
Includes comprehensive unit tests and fuzz tests for the writer.

files and directories.

{2 Compression}
26
+
27
+
By default, gzip compression is used. Other compression methods can be
28
+
selected at creation time:
29
+
30
+
{[
31
+
let fs = Squashfs_writer.create ~compression:Squashfs.Zstd () in

34
+
{2 Security Considerations}
35
+
36
+
This writer produces images that can be read by the Linux kernel and
37
+
standard tools. The writer:
38
+
39
+
- Validates all paths to prevent directory traversal
40
+
- Rejects absolute paths and paths containing ".."
41
+
- Enforces reasonable limits on file sizes and counts
42
+
- Uses secure defaults for file permissions

+
