.SH NAME
.B floppyrestore
\- Read data from floppies created with
.B floppybackup
and output it to stdout.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B floppyrestore [device]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B floppyrestore
reads data from floppies on given device. If no device is given, "/dev/fd0"
is assumed. The data is outputted to stdout, and new floppies are
requested when needed.
.PP
A header is first read from beginning of each floppy, to get information
about archive
name, disk number, whether or not the disk in question is last one in
archive, and how many bytes of input are stored on disk.
.PP
.B floppyrestore
refuses to accept disks that either have different archive name than the
first disk, or disks with unexpected disk number. You must give the archive
disks in order 1,2,3,4... and so on.
.PP
floppyrestore can mix floppies of different sizes to create an archive. You
may use 720K, 360K, 1440K, 1992K or whatever floppy sizes your machine
autodetects.
