Deleted wallets recovery (encrypted+unencrypted wallet, on Linux+Windows)
Pywallet will go through these steps:
1. read every byte on the disk to look for keys (sloooooooooow, ~600Mo/min)
2. create a partial file (in outputdir) so that if you forgot a passphrase but remember it later you don't have to go through step 1 again
3. test all the passphrases for the most possible (encrypted private key / encryption parameters) pairs
4. if there are some private keys still not decrypted, YOU chose whether or not you want to test all passphrase with all encryption parameters with all undecrypted private keys
Note that recov_size must be higher than the size of recov_device and that recov_outputdir must exist
Usage examples for Linux and Windows:

PS: to use a partial recovery file, the command is the following (notice --recov_device):
