Does TestDisk support apfs? #138

As per title, does TestDisk support apfs?

I know from the documentation on the website, TestDisk doesn't support apfs. But I saw apfs implementation from the source code.

Does this mean I can build the code myself and get TestDisk binary that supports apfs?

PS. I want to use TestDisk on my corrupt apfs external drive to recover data on it, because fsck_apfs said fsroot tree is corrupted.

From version 7.2 release, TestDisk supports APFS partition.

TestDisk can recover deleted APFS partition (Assuming SSD trim operation didn't discard all information) and PhotoRec can recover data from APFS filesystem. TestDisk can't repair corrupted APFS fsroot tree.
