PS: should note that in this simple way, /var/cache/pacman/pkg will be read-only. If you want read-write location, should first create an img.fs then compress it with squashfs

You may want to use strdup(3) instead of malloc(3)/strlen(3)/strncpy(3) is not ANSI but POSIX Also you may want to use fgets(3)/sscanf(3) when you are reading an integer otherwise surprises will be happens [#1] anyways I also recomends when reading strings strdup(3) calls malloc(3), so this memory needs to be freed with free(3).[#1] http://c-faq.com/stdio/scanfprobs.html
