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.

       -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.
