NAME

       mha-dbrecover - rebuild a MHonArc archive database

SYNOPSIS

       mha-dbrecover [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mha-dbrecover is a utility program that is part of the MHonArc software package.  The
       program allows can be used to rebuild a MHonArc archive database from the HTML message
       files.  This allows database recovery if the database gets corrupted or accidentally
       deleted.

       The documentation for MHonArc is distributed in HTML format.  Due to its size and
       organization, it is not suited for manpage format.  Consult your system administrator for
       where the documentation has been installed, or see "AVAILABILITY" on where you can access
       the documentation on the web.

OPTIONS

       mha-dbrecover takes all the options available to mhonarc along with the following
       additional options:

       "-dbr-startnum" #
           The starting message number to recover data from.  This option is useful if you have
           many message files in a directory, but you only want to recover a subset of the files.

           If this option is not specified, the starting number is 0.

       "-dbr-endnum" #
           The ending message number to recover data from.  This option is useful if you have
           many message files in a directory, but you only want to recover a subset of the files.

           If this option is not specified, all messages starting from "-dbr-startnum" will be
           recovered.

       NOTE: Only a subset of the options available to mhonarc are actually supported since many
       options are not applicable for recovering operations.
