        I agree with the view that Antonio has.  The tools already
        exist to do the adjustments if the user/admin deems required,
        but I would not like to see them incorporated in to ddrescue.

        Certainly though mentioning of the other tools is always a nice
        addition, along with more examples, though a lot are already
        well explained in various data recovery & forensics wiki/blogs.
