SYNOPSIS
     ewfrecover [-A codepage] [-l log_filename] [-p process_buffer_size]
                [-t target] [-hquvVx] ewf_files

DESCRIPTION
     ewfrecover is a utility to recover corrupt EWF files.

     ewfrecover is part of the libewf package.  libewf is a library to access
     the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).

     ewf_files the first or the entire set of EWF segment files

     The options are as follows:

     -A codepage
             the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default),
             windows-874, windows-932, windows-936, windows-949, windows-950,
             windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252, windows-1253,
             windows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or
             windows-1258

     -h      shows this help

     -l log_filename
             logs recover errors and the digest (hash) to the log filename

     -p process_buffer_size
             the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)

     -t target
             the target file to recover to (default is recover)

     -v      verbose output to stderr
