@ww Apparently, it can be built from a streaming Tar file into stdin for mksquashfs.
So kind of? But that invites Tar compatibility nightmares, [drooping], unfortunately.

@lispi314 i just saw this and idk
-stream
output the filesystem to STDOUT rather than to a file. This allows the output to be piped to another program or elsewhere with ssh. The resultant streamed Squashfs filesystem will not be a normal Squashfs filesystem because the super block will be at the end of the filesystem. But it can be fixed up afterwards with the -fix option and Unsquashfs 4.7.3 and later can read streamed unfixed up filesystems directly. Use - for the output FILESYSTEM on the command line. Duplicate detection is disabled using the -stream option.

@ww I hadn't noticed sqfstar either yet. Seems like the use-case is considered more than I'd expected.
It just might displace Tar usage for me.
