     NAME
          frec - recover files from a backup tape

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/frec [-ppath] [-freqfile] raw-tape inumber:name ...

     DESCRIPTION
          frec recovers the files identified by inumber from the
          specified raw-tape.  This is a backup tape written by
          volcopy(1M) or finc(1M).  The data for each recovery request
          is written into the name file.

          If any directories are missing in the paths of recovery
          names they will be created.

          -freqfile    specify a file containing recovery requests.
                       The format is
                         inumber:name
                      with one request per line.

          -ppath       specify a path for names not beginning with /
                       or ./.  The default pathname is your current
                       working directory.

     EXAMPLE
               frec /dev/rmt/0m 1216:junk

          recovers a file, with inumber 1216, into the file junk in
          your current working directory.

               frec -p /usr/src/cmd /dev/rmt m 14156:a 1232:b
               3141:/usr/joe/a.c

          recovers files with inumbers 14156, 1232, and 3141 into
          files /usr/src/cmd/a, /usr/src/cmd/b, and /usr/joe/a.c.

     FILES
          /etc/frec

     SEE ALSO
          cpio(1), ff(1M), finc(1M), volcopy(1M).

     BUGS
          While creating the intermediate directories contained in a
          pathname, frec can only recover inode fields for those
          directories contained on the tape and requested for
          recovery.
