Command: recover - recover files that have been removed.
Syntax: recover file ...
Flags: (none)
Examples: rm x; recover x # Unremove x
recover a b c # Recover three files
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.
