     NAME
          frec - recover files from a backup tape

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/frec [-p path] [-f reqfile] raw-tape i-number:name ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Frec recovers files from a specified backup tape.

          Arguments are:

          raw-tape    The pathname of a tape drive on which a backup
                      tape written by volcopy(1m) is mounted.

          i-number    The inode number of the file being recovered.

          name        The pathname of the file to which the data for
                      each recovery request is written.  If a
                      directory is missing in the pathname, it is
                      created.

          Options are:

          -p path     Specify a default prefixing pathname different
                      from the current working directory.  Frec
                      prefixes this pathname to any names that are not
                      fully qualified, i.e., that do not begin with /
                      or ./.

          -f reqfile  Specify a file that contains recovery requests.
                      The format is i-number:newname, one per line.

     EXAMPLES
          If a file with i-number 1216 has been backed up, you can
          recover the file into a file named junk in your current
          working directory by typing the following:

             frec /dev/rmt/0m 1216:junk

          To recover files with i-numbers 14156, 1232, and 3141 into
          files /usr/src/cmd/a, /usr/src/cmd/b, and /usr/joe/a.c:

             frec -p /usr/src/cmd /dev/rmt/0m 14156:a 1232:b 3141:/usr/joe/a.c

     SEE ALSO
          cpio(1), volcopy(1m).

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

          Frec expects the volume label to match on all tapes.
