.SH NAME
lziprecover \- recovers data from damaged lzip files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lziprecover
[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Lziprecover \- Data recovery tool and decompressor for the lzip format.
.PP
Lziprecover can repair perfectly most files with small errors (up to one
single\-byte error per member), without the need of any extra redundance
at all. Losing an entire archive just because of a corrupt byte near the
beginning is a thing of the past.
Lziprecover can also produce a correct file by merging the good parts of
two or more damaged copies, extract data from damaged files, decompress
files and test integrity of files.

Numbers may be followed by a multiplier: k = kB = 10^3 = 1000,
Ki = KiB = 2^10 = 1024, M = 10^6, Mi = 2^20, G = 10^9, Gi = 2^30, etc...
.PP
Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file
not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate a corrupt or
invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug) which
caused lziprecover to panic.
