I am seeing a need for a similar feature in making dracut's lsinitrd work... a little better. I should add two cents of my own. * In "unsquashfs" there's not only '-extract-file' for passing in a list of files, but also a possibility for a list of paths to be specified directly as arguments. This would appear outlandish on an fsck utility. * When extracting single files it might be desirable to *not* verify and pretend-extract the other files. Because of these two reasons, I think it might be best to make an "unerofs" for extraction purposes instead of adding more things to the "fsck" tool. An initial version can just be a separate "main" fuction in fsck.c that gets used when an argv[0] equal to "unerofs" or ending with "/unerofs" is found. Sincerely, Mingye Wang (Artoria2e5)
