https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/issues/25#RFE: mksquashfs via tar stream/pipe

https://infraroot.at/pub/squashfs/squashfs-tools-ng-0.4.2.tar.gz
appears to build with the dependencies below
lzo-dev liblz4-dev liblzma-dev zstd-dev
and compiletc.
gensquashfs can be used to produce SquashFS images from gen_init_cpio like file listings or simply pack an input directory.
rdsquashfs can be used to inspect and unpack SquashFS images.
sqfs2tar can turn a SquashFS image into a tarball, written to stdout.
tar2sqfs can turn a tarball (read from stdin) into a SquashFS image.
sqfsdiff can compare the contents of two SquashFS images.
perhaps some of the above could provide
alternative method for creating / profiling/testing squashed ".tcz" extensions ?
eg as is mentioned @ http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22854.0.html " XZ compression in kernel + tcz; squashfs with xz + biger block size "
