.SH NAME
.PP
recovermov \- recover movies from a filesystem image
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
recovermov [\f[I]options\f[]] \f[I]device\f[]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Recovermov tries to identify mov movies from a filesystem image.
To achieve this goal, it scans the filesystem image and looks for a mov
structure at blocks starting at 512 bytes boundaries.
.PP
Note that \f[I]device\f[] is not necessarily a physical device.
It may also be a file containing a copy of the faulty device in order to
reduce the actual processing time and the stress imposed to an already
defective hardware.
\f[C]dd\f[](1) or \f[C]ddrescue\f[](1) may be used to create such a
working copy.
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
\-h : Display an help message.
.PP
\-b \f[I]blocksize\f[] : Set the size of blocks in bytes.
On most file systems, setting it to 512 (the default) will work fine as
any large file will be stored on 512 bytes boundaries.
Setting it to 1 maximize the chances of finding very small files if the
filesystems aggregates them (UFS for example) at the expense of a much
longer running time.
.PP
\-i \f[I]integerindex\f[] : Set the initial index value for image
numbering (default: 0).
.PP
\-n \f[I]basename\f[] : Basename to use to create the salvaged files.
Default is \f[C]video_\f[].
.PP
\-V : Display program version and exit.
.PP
All the sizes may be suffixed by a \f[I]k\f[], \f[I]m\f[], \f[I]g\f[],
or \f[I]t\f[] letter to indicate KiB, MiB, GiB, or TiB.
For example, 6m correspond to 6 MiB (6291456 bytes).
.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
Recover as many movies as possible from the memory card located in
\f[C]/dev/sdc\f[]:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
recovermov\ /dev/sdc
\f[]
.fi
.PP
Recover as many movies as possible from a crashed ReiserFS file system
(which does not necessarily store files at block boundaries) in
\f[C]/dev/hdb1\f[]:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
recovermov\ \-b\ 1\ /dev/hdb1
\f[]
.fi
