Call dd_rescue -h. 1.11 +* dd_rescue does not abort on errors on the input file, 1.12 + unless you specify a maximum error number. Then dd_rescue 1.13 + will abort when this number is reached. 1.14 +* dd_rescue does not truncate the output file, unless asked to. 1.15 +* You can tell dd_rescue to start from the end of a file and 1.16 + move backwards. 1.17 +* It uses two block sizes, a large (soft) block size and a small 1.18 + (hard) block size. In case of errors, the size falls back to 1.19 + the small one and is promoted again after a while without errors.
