💖 DDRU_FINDBAD(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about ddru_findbad — it's a User Command and it's part of the ddrutility tool set. yes she's one of the group. she's iconic, she's niche, she's about to find out which of your files are living on bad sectors. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ddru_findbad — part of the ddrutility tool set. that's it, that's the whole name section, short and sweet, she's mysterious like that 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ddru_findbad <target> <logfile> [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so real talk: ddru_findbad is part of the ddrutility tool set, and her whole personality is being a compliment to gnuddrescue. like, gnuddrescue does the rescuing, and ddru_findbad comes in after like "hey bestie, want me to figure out which files were actually sitting on those bad sectors?" and yes. that's the job. she tries to find which files are related to the bad sectors. obsessed with her honestly. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS: 👑

  • -v, --version — show version. she'll tell you who she is. 💁
  • -h, --help — show help. she'll tell you how to use her. 💁
  • -o, --output <file> — the base name for the results files, and the default is results. so if you don't say anything she just goes with results, main character default energy. ✨
  • -w, --loopwait <seconds> — how many seconds to wait before doing loop commands. patience is a virtue, bestie. 🧚
  • -s, --sectorsize <bytes> — sector size, and the default is 512. don't @ me, that's just the default. 🍓
  • -a, --autooff — allows manual control of partition types. you're driving now. 🚗
  • -m, --moreinfo — puts lots of extra data in the long results. heads up though: it's slow. like, "waiting for your food at a busy restaurant" slow. 😭
  • -e, --extraoutput — produces more types of output files. and bestie, it's really slow. like, slower than -m. plan your snack breaks accordingly. 💀
  • -q, --quick — only check the first and last sector of each group. low effort, high speed, we love a shortcut. ⚡
  • -Q, --quickntfs — quick, but with special NTFS processing. same shortcut energy but she's doing something fancy with NTFS specifically. 🔥
