NAME
recover - recover files that have been removed.
SYNOPSIS
recover file ...
EXAMPLES
rm x; recover x # Unremove x recover a b c # Recover three files
DESCRIPTION
MINIX allows files that have been deleted (e.g., with rm) to be restored (in /tmp). 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 de, which must be installed as a set-uid root executable.
