+// Strictly to deal with reboot into system after OTA after /data
+// mounts to pull the last pmsg file data and place it
+// into /data/misc/recovery/ directory, rotating it in.
+//
+// Usage: recovery-persist [--force-persist]
+//
+//    On systems without /cache mount, all file content representing in the
+//    recovery/ directory stored in /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-0 in logger
+//    format that reside in the LOG_ID_SYSTEM buffer at ANDROID_LOG_INFO
+//    priority or higher is transfered to the /data/misc/recovery/ directory.
+//    The content is matched and rotated in as need be.
+//
+//    --force-persist  ignore /cache mount, always rotate in the contents.
