ChromeOS untar
This is a tool that is intended to support untarring on SquashFS file
systems. In particular, every time it encounters a hard link, it
will just create a copy of the file.
Usage: cruntar [-jmvpz] archive [dest]
Flags:
-a Shortcut for -m -p: preserve owners and file mode.
-j The archive is compressed with bzip2.
-m Preserve file modes.
-p Preserve ownership.
-v Print the name of each file as it is being processed.
-z The archive is compressed with gzip.
I wrote this after running into problems with untarring the
gcc-arm-eabi-none toolchain. The shared storage in Termux under
ChromeOS doesn't support hard links, so I opted to just make a copy
rather than dealing with links and whatnot.
