👑 fosrec — the FOS recovery girlie

okay so bestie, welcome to FOSREC(1), a lil User Commands manual page for a tool called fosrec. she's niche, she's retro, she's here to rescue your files off a Smaky FOS disk. no cap. 💾✨

🌸 NAME

fosrec — FOS recovery. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS

fosrec [options] device destination

✨ DESCRIPTION

so basically? this is the tool you use to recover files on a Smaky FOS disk. like, the files are in there somewhere and fosrec is gonna go get them. main character energy fr fr. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message. the "girl help" of flags. 💖
  • -v, --version — shows the version. she's telling you who she is. 👑
  • -a, --harddisk — forces an hard disk instead of the autodetection. like, "no autodetect, i KNOW it's a hard disk, trust me." 🔥
  • -f, --floppydisk — forces a floppy disk instead of the autodetection. same energy but for the floppy bestie. 🍓
  • -l, --fos-logger — turns ON the FOS logger. (capital ON, she's serious.) 🌈

🧚 ARGUMENTS

  • device — the device you're reading from, and i'm quoting the original here: /dev/fd0 for floppy disk, /dev/sda for hard disk, etc, ... so yes, that "etc, ..." is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but we move. 💜
  • destination — the destination to save the files. where the rescued files get to live their new life. 🎀
