ARBTT-RECOVER(1)

💖 ARBTT-RECOVER(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the Program references manual, and it's about a little lifesaver called arbtt-recover. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

arbtt-recover — the girl who tries to recover a broken arbtt data log 💅 (yes, that's literally her whole job and she eats every time)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arbtt-recover [OPTION...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so arbtt-recover tries to read all the data samples that arbtt-capture(1) recorded, and the way she does it is by skipping over possible broken entries — like she's stepping over puddles in her cute shoes, no cap. then she writes a fixed log file to ~/.arbtt/capture.log.recovered. and if the recovery actually worked out?? bestie, you should stop arbtt-capture and move that file over to ~/.arbtt/capture.log. periodt. 👑

also, as a lil side effect (the way that she just does extra things unasked 😭), arbtt-recover applies the log compression method implemented in version 0.4.5 to the samples created by an earlier version. so if you've got a big old logfile written by older versions, running arbtt-recover is recommended. it's giving glow-up, honestly. ✨

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, -?, --help — shows a short summary of the available options, and exists. (iconic behaviour fr fr)
• -V, --version — shows the version number, and exists. (she said "I exist" and that's valid 🌈)
• -i, --infile — the logfile to use instead of ~/.arbtt/capture.log
• -o, --outfile — where to save the recovered file, instead of ~/.arbtt/capture.log.recovered

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• ~/.arbtt/capture.log — a binary file, storing the arbtt data samples 💾
• ~/.arbtt/capture.log.recovered — a binary file, storing the fixed arbtt data samples 🩹
