The optional I<TARGET> argument can either be the path to a directory, the
path to a tarball filename, the path to a squashfs image or C<->. If I<TARGET>
ends with C<.tar>, or with any of the filename extensions listed in the
section B<COMPRESSION>, then I<TARGET> will be interpreted as a path to a

The optional I<TARGET> argument can either be the path to a directory, the path
to a tarball filename, the path to a squashfs image, a FIFO, a character
special device, or C<->. If I<TARGET> ends with C<.tar>, or with any of the

FIFO or a character special device, then I<TARGET> will be interpreted as a
path to a tarball filename. If I<TARGET> ends with C<.squashfs> or C<.sqfs>,
then I<TARGET> will be interpreted as a path to a squashfs image. If I<TARGET>
is the path to a tarball filename or a squashfs image or if I<TARGET> is C<->
or if no I<TARGET> was specified, B<mmdebstrap> will create a temporary chroot
directory in C<$TMPDIR> or F</tmp>. If I<TARGET> is the path to a tarball
filename, B<mmdebstrap> will create a tarball of that directory and store it
as I<TARGET>, optionally applying a compression algorithm as indicated by its
filename extension. If I<TARGET> is C<-> or if no I<TARGET> was specified,
then an uncompressed tarball of that directory will be sent to standard
output. When B<mmdebstrap> creates a tarball it also stores extended
attributes. To preserve the extended attributes, you have to pass B<--xattrs
--xattrs-include='*'> to tar when extracting the tarball. If I<TARGET> is the
path to a squashfs image, B<mmdebstrap> will create an xz compressed image
with a blocksize of 1048576 bytes. If I<TARGET> does neither end with C<.tar>
nor with any of the filename extensions listed in the section B<COMPRESSION>,
nor with C<.squashfs> or C<.sqfs>, then I<TARGET> will be interpreted as the
path to a directory. If the directory already exists, it must either be empty
or only contain an empty C<lost+found> directory. If a directory is chosen as
output in any other mode than B<sudo>, then its contents will have wrong
ownership information and special device files will be missing.
