NAME
free - recover files from a backup tape
SYNOPSIS
/ ete/ free [-ppath] [-freqfile] raw-tape inumber: name ...
DESCRIPTION
free recovers the files identified by inumber from the specified
raw-tape. This is a backup tape written by voleopy(lM) or
f ine(1M). The data for each recovery request is written into the
name file.
If any directories are missing in the paths of recovery names they
will be created.
-freqfile specify a file containing recovery requests. The format
is
inumber:name
with one request per line.
-ppath specify a path for names not beginning with / or . / .
The default pathname is your current working directory.
EXAMPLE
free /dev/rmt/Om 1216:junk
recovers a file, with inumber 1216, into the file junk in your
current working directory.
free -p /usr/sre/emd /dev/rmt m 14156:a 1232:b
3141:/usr/joe/a.e
recovers files with inumbers 14156, 1232, and 3141 into files:
FILES
fete/free
/usr/sre/emd/a
/usr/sre/emd/b
/usr/joe/a.e

BUGS
While creating the intermediate directories contained in a pathname,
free can only recover inode fields for those directories
contained on the tape and requested for recovery.
