It is a link to the chapter "Logfile Structure". When you are reading
the info manual (with the info program), just put the cursor on it and
hit ENTER to see what the block status characters are.

I have in fact added a shorthand for what I think will be the most used
complex rule. "--invert-logfile", which is equivalent to
"--change-types=?*/-+,++++-"

BTW, if someone reading this list have interesting use cases for the new
features of ddrescuelog, please post them here so that I can include
them in the manual. Thanks!

I am no filesystem expert, but no filesystem seems to be using a block
size smaller than 1024 bytes. So using 512 as a default for ddrescuelog
does not seem to be useful.


Best regards,
Antonio.
