Tools for assisting with debugging read-only squashfs snaps via overlayfs


Snaps are squashfs images, which by definition are read-only. This can make
them difficult to debug, since they cannot be edited. That's where this snap
comes in. Run the following command:
 $ /snap/overlay/current/overlay /snap/<name>/<version>


Now the snap can be edited! This is done via overlayfs, and it's temporary. One
can undo it by rebooting, or by simply unmounting the overlay:
 $ sudo umount /snap/<name>/<version>
