+long_desc="
+ Foremost is a console program to recover files based on their headers, footers,
+ and internal data structures. This process is commonly referred to as data
+ carving. Foremost can work on image files, such as those generated by dd,
+ Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive. The headers and footers can be
+ specified by a configuration file or you can use command line switches to
+ specify built-in file types. These built-in types look at the data structures
+ of a given file format allowing for a more reliable and faster recovery."
