.TH RECOVER 1 .SH NAME recover \- recover files that have been removed. .SH SYNOPSIS \fBrecover \fIfile ...\fR .br .de FL .TP \\fB\\$1\\fR \\$2 .. .de EX .TP 20 \\fB\\$1\\fR # \\$2 .. .SH EXAMPLES .EX "rm x; recover x" "Unremove x" .EX "recover a b c" "Recover three files" .SH DESCRIPTION .PP MINIX allows files that have been deleted (e.g., with \fIrm\fR) to be restored (in \fI/tmp\fR). The trick is that when a file is unlinked, its i-node number is kept in the directory entry. As long as the directory entry and disk blocks are not reused, the file can be recovered. This program is actually just a little front end for \fIde\fR, which must be installed as a set-uid root executable. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR de (9).
