NAME

       lziprecover - recovers data from damaged lzip files

SYNOPSIS

       lziprecover [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       Lziprecover - Data recovery tool and decompressor for the lzip format.

       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.

              overwrite existing output files

       -i, --ignore-errors
              make '--range-decompress' ignore data errors

       -k, --keep
              keep (don't delete) input files

       -l, --list
              print total file sizes and ratios

       -R, --repair
              try to repair a small error in file

       -s, --split
              split multi-member file in single-member files

       -t, --test
              test compressed file integrity

       -v, --verbose
              be verbose (a 2nd -v gives more)

       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...

       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.
