recover is the small utility program that comes with NetHack. It is used to turn temporary level files into a save file, for example after a power outage during a game.
On Linux and other unixen, you usually invoke recover like this:
recover -d savedir 1031foo
where savedir is the path where the save file should be put, and 1031foo is the file name of the temporary files, without extension. The number will most likely be different; it's the UID of the user running NetHack. foo is the player name used in NetHack.
