Command: elvrec - recover from a crash
Syntax: elvrec [preservedfile [newfile]]
Flags: (none)
Examples: elvrec prog.c # Recover prog.c
elvrec prog.c savedprog.c # Recover under a new name
Elvrec is used to recover an edit session after a crash. Both
elvis and ex keep scratch files in /usr/tmp. After an editor crash,
this information is used to reconstruct the file. If elvrec is called
with no file name, it expects one of these temporary files on stdin.
