partclone.restore is a part of Partclone project to restore all image made from partclone.[fstype] or
       partclone.dd. Partclone provide utilities to backup used blocks and design for higher compatibility of
       the file system by using existing library, e.g. e2fslibs is used to read the used block of ext2
       partition.

       Partclone supported file system include btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs and jfs for
       LINUX. Also support some non-linux operation system, ex: NTFS, FAT, EXFAT (for Windows), HFS plus (APPLE
       MAC OS), UFS2 (FreeBSD), VMFS (VMWare Vsphere). All partclone utils could be run like partclone.xxx is
       very smiliar fsck or mkfs. For example, for backup/restore hfsplus, just run partclone.hfsp.

       The following diagnostics may be issued on stderr:

       partclone.restore provides some return codes, that can be used in scripts:
       CodeDiagnostic0      Program exited successfully.
