GNU ddrescue 1.7 (Stable branch)

ImageGNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copiesdata from one file or block device (hard disc,cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue datain case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does nottruncate the output file if not asked to. So,every time you run it on the same output file, ittries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation ofGNU ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, youdon't have to wait for an error, stop the program,read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If youuse the logfile feature of GNU ddrescue, the datais rescued very efficiently (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
This version skips very fast over damaged areasand maintains the logfile minimized at all times,improving efficiency. The error count now showsthe number of error areas found, irrespective oftheir sizes. When splitting, this version jumps tothe next non-split area after two consecutiveerrors have been encountered in the current one.The "check" target has been added to the Makefile.The new option "--retrim" has been added.Image

NAME
MusicBrainz::DiscID - Perl interface for the MusicBrainz libdiscid library SYNOPSIS
use MusicBrainz::DiscID; my $discid = MusicBrainz::DiscID->new(); if ( $disc->read() == 0 ) { print STDERR "Error: " . $discid->error_msg() . " "; exit(1); } print "DiscID: " . $discid->id() . " "; DESCRIPTION
MusicBrainz::DiscID is a class to calculate a MusicBrainz DiscID from an audio CD in the drive. The coding style is slightly different to the C interface to libdiscid, because it makes use of perl's Object Oriented functionality. MusicBrainz::DiscID::default_device() Returns a device string for the default device for this platform. MusicBrainz::DiscID::new( [$device] ) Construct a new DiscID object. As an optional argument the name of the device to read the ID from may be given. If you donOt specify a device here you can later read the ID with the read method. $discid->error_msg() Return a human-readable error message of the last error that occured. $discid->first_track_num() Return the number of the first track on this disc (usually 1). Returns undef if no ID was yet read. $discid->last_track_num() Return the number of the last track on this disc. $discid->id() Returns the DiscID as a string. Returns undef if no ID was yet read. $discid->last_track_num() Return the number of the last track on this disc. Returns undef if no ID was yet read. $discid->put( $first_track, $sectors, $offset1, $offset2, ... ) This function may be used if the TOC has been read earlier and you want to calculate the disc ID afterwards, without accessing the disc drive. $discid->read( [$device] ) Read the disc ID from the given device. If no device is given the default device of the platform will be used. On error, this function returns false and sets the error message which you can access $discid->error_msg(). $discid->sectors() Return the length of the disc in sectors. Returns undef if no ID was yet read. $discid->submission_url() Returns a submission URL for the DiscID as a string. Returns undef if no ID was yet read. $discid->track_length( $track_num ) Return the length of a track in sectors. $discid->track_offset( $track_num ) Return the sector offset of a track. $discid->webservice_url() Returns a Webservice URL for the DiscID as a string. Returns undef if no ID was yet read. SEE ALSO
