## Introduction

`Rifiuti2` is a for analyzing Windows Recycle Bin INFO2 file. Analysis of

Windows Recycle Bin is usually carried out during Windows computer

forensics. `Rifiuti2` can extract file deletion time, original path

and size of deleted files and whether the trashed files have been

permanently removed.

For those interested in what it does, and what functionality it

provides, please [check out official site][site] for more info.

## Special notes

Latest features and changes can be found in [NEWS file](NEWS.md).

### 0.8.1

JSON output format, WSL v2 support, and improve robustness

when reading broken data.

### 0.8.0

- Windows binaries will be published via [MSYS2 GitHub workflow](https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2).

- Package maintainers would need to rewrite their package files,

  in light of multiple renovations: [CMake migration](https://github.com/abelcheung/rifiuti2/issues/21), [gettext removal](https://github.com/abelcheung/rifiuti2/issues/18), document restructuring etc.

## Usage

`rifiuti2` is designed to be portable (just download and use without

need for installation), and runs on command line environment.

Although utilities provide `-h` option for brief help message,

it is suggested to [consult Wiki page][wiki1] for

full detail on all of the options; following are a few examples

on how to use them:

[wiki1]: https://github.com/abelcheung/rifiuti2/wiki/Usage-and-Examples

- `rifiuti-vista.exe -x -z -o result.xml \case\S-1-2-3\`

> Scan for index files under `\case\S-1-2-3\`, adjust all deletion time

> for local time zone, and write XML output to `result.xml`

- `rifiuti -l CP932 -t "\n" INFO2`

> Assume INFO2 file is generated from Japanese Windows (codepage 932),

> and display each field line by line, instead of separated by tab

## Download

### Supported platforms

`rifiuti2` is guaranteed usable on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD,

More compatibility fix for other architectures welcome.
