Sh NAME
Nm virecover
Nd report recovered vi edit sessions
Sh SYNOPSIS
Pa /usr/libexec/virecover
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm
utility sends emails to users who have
Xr vi 1
recovery files.
Pp
This email gives the name of the file that was
saved for recovery and instructions for recovering
most, if not all, of the changes to the file.
This is done by using the
Fl r
option with
Xr vi 1 .
See the
Fl r
option in
Xr vi 1
for details.
Pp
If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length,
then they have not been modified, so
Nm
deletes them to clean up.
Nm
also removes recovery files that are corrupted, zero length,
or do not have a corresponding backup file.
Pp
Nm
is normally run automatically at boot time using
Pa /etc/rc.d/virecover .
