Description-en: Utilities for EROFS File System
EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight
read-only file system with modern designs (eg. page-sized
blocks, inline xattrs/data, etc.) for scenarios which need
high-performance read-only requirements, e.g. Android OS
for smartphones and LIVECDs.
.
It also provides fixed-sized output compression support,
which improves storage density, keeps relatively higher
compression ratios, which is more useful to achieve high
performance for embedded devices with limited memory.
