       This manual page documents the rsyncrypto_recover command.

       When  the  rsyncrypto command is used with the --name-encrypt command, a file containing the mapping from
       the plain text representation to the encrypted file names is formed.  This  file  mapping  has  a  strict
       format of records delimited by a NULL byte.

       A  bug  introduced  in  version  1.07  or  rsyncrypto, and solved in version 1.09, caused this file to be
       somewhat corrupted under certain circumstances, most notably the use of the  --delete-keys  command  line
       option.

       It  is important to note that the only records corrupted are records that were due to be deleted anyways.
       Thisbugdidnotresultinanylossofactualimportantdata.  It did, however, leave behind a file  that
       rsyncrypto then refused to open.

       rsyncrypto_recover will read in a file map, and output to the standard output only those records that are
       valid.
