A recovery volume (REV) file contains data to reconstruct missing files from a RAR archive. RAR is a file compression and archiving software. Multi-volume RAR archives can have REV files. REV files are used only with multi-volume archives. If the number of REV files is less than the number of corrupted or missing volumes, the volume set cannot be reconstructed.
The LiveCode application development software can open REV files. LiveCode makes apps for Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android and web. The REV file contains a plugin to add features to LiveCode.
