.SH NAME
|
|
lziprecover \- recovers data from damaged lzip files
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B lziprecover
|
|
[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
|
|
.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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
With the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
|
|
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lziprecover can remove the damaged members from multimember files, for
|
|
example multimember tar.lz archives.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lziprecover provides random access to the data in multimember files; it only
|
|
decompresses the members containing the desired data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lziprecover facilitates the management of metadata stored as trailing data
|
|
in lzip files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lziprecover is not a replacement for regular backups, but a last line of
|
|
defense for the case where the backups are also damaged.

from standard input to standard output.

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...

To extract all the files from archive 'foo.tar.lz', use the commands

Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems

|
(file not found, invalid command\-line options, I/O errors, etc), 2 to
|
|
indicate a corrupt or invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency
|
|
error (e.g., bug) which caused lziprecover to panic.
