SYNOPSIS

       ewfrecover [-A codepage] [-l log_filename] [-p process_buffer_size] [-t target] [-hquvVx] ewf_files

DESCRIPTION

       ewfrecover is a utility to recover corrupt EWF files.

       ewfrecover  is  part of the libewf package.  libewf is a library to access the Expert Witness Compression
       Format (EWF).

       ewf_files the first or the entire set of EWF segment files

       The options are as follows:

       -A codepage
               the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default), windows-874, windows-932,  windows-936,
               windows-949,  windows-950,  windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252, windows-1253, windows-1254,
               windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or windows-1258

       -h      shows this help

       -l log_filename
               logs recover errors and the digest (hash) to the log filename

       -p process_buffer_size
               the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)

       -t target
               the target file to recover to (default is recover)

       -v      verbose output to stderr

       -V      print version

       -x      use the chunk data instead of the buffered read and write functions.
