Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Version 1.15-rc1 of GNU ddrescue released

[Tom Williams]

I have worked up a small patch to add the ddrescue version number to the
"show help" (-h) output.  This way, when someone runs "ddrescue -h", the
version of ddrescue being run is included in the output.  :)

Here is the patch:
