NAME
       rsyncrypto_recover - recover all usable data from corrupted rsyncrypto filemaps


SYNOPSIS
       rsyncrypto_recover badfile > goodfile


DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents the rsyncrypto_recover command.

       When  the  rsyncrypto command is used with the --name-encrypt command, a file containing the mapping from
       the plain text representation to the encrypted file names is formed.  This  file  mapping  has  a  strict
       format of records delimited by a NULL byte.

       A  bug  introduced  in  version  1.07  or  rsyncrypto, and solved in version 1.09, caused this file to be
       somewhat corrupted under certain circumstances, most notably the use of the  --delete-keys  command  line
       option.

       It  is important to note that the only records corrupted are records that were due to be deleted anyways.
       This bug did not result in any loss of actual important data.  It did, however, leave behind a file  that
       rsyncrypto then refused to open.

       rsyncrypto_recover will read in a file map, and output to the standard output only those records that are
       valid.


PARAMETERS
       badfile
              A file map that contains some good and some corrupted records.
