DESCRIPTION

     ewfrecover is a utility to recover corrupt EWF files.

     ewfrecover is part of the libewf package.  libewf is a library to access the Expert Witness

     ewf_files the first or the entire set of EWF segment files

     The options are as follows:

     -A codepage
             the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default), windows-874, windows-932,
             windows-936, windows-949, windows-950, windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252,
             windows-1253, windows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or windows-1258

     -h      shows this help

     -l log_filename
             logs recover errors and the digest (hash) to the log filename

     -p process_buffer_size
             the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)

     -t target
             the target file to recover to (default is recover)
