 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip
-compressed data format (.lz). Lziprecover is able to repair slightly damaged
-files (up to one single\-byte error per member), produce a correct file by
-merging the good parts of two or more damaged copies, reproduce a missing
-(zeroed) sector using a reference file, extract data from damaged files,
-decompress files, and test integrity of files.

+Correction (FEC) able to repair any kind of file.

 With the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
 corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.

 Lziprecover provides random access to the data in multimember files; it only
 decompresses the members containing the desired data.

 Lziprecover is not a replacement for regular backups, but a last line of
 defense for the case where the backups are also damaged.
