<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><strong>mha-dbrecover</strong> is a utility program that is part of the <strong>MHonArc</strong>
software package. The program allows can be used to rebuild a
<strong>MHonArc</strong> archive database from the HTML message files. This allows
database recovery if the database gets corrupted or accidentally
deleted.</p>
<p>The documentation for <strong>MHonArc</strong> is distributed in HTML format.
Due to its size and organization, it is not suited for manpage
format. Consult your system administrator for where the documentation
has been installed, or see <a href="#availability">AVAILABILITY</a> on where you can
access the documentation on the web.</p>
<p>
</p>

<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
<p><strong>mha-dbrecover</strong> takes all the options available to <strong>mhonarc</strong> along
with the following additional options:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="item__2ddbr_2dstartnum__23"><code>-dbr-startnum</code> <em>#</em></a></strong>
<dd>
<p>The starting message number to recover data from. This option is
useful if you have many message files in a directory, but you only
want to recover a subset of the files.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>If this option is not specified, the starting number is 0.</p>
</dd>
</li>
<dt><strong><a name="item__2ddbr_2dendnum__23"><code>-dbr-endnum</code> <em>#</em></a></strong>
<dd>
<p>The ending message number to recover data from. This option is
useful if you have many message files in a directory, but you only
want to recover a subset of the files.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>If this option is not specified, all messages starting from
<code>-dbr-startnum</code> will be recovered.</p>
</dd>
</li>
</dl>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Only a subset of the options available to <strong>mhonarc</strong>
are actually supported since many options are not applicable for
recovering operations.</p>
