srm

Securely remove files or directories. Overwrites the existing data one or multiple. Drop in replacement for rm.

• Remove a file after overwriting (single pass, 7 pass, 35 pass):

srm -s {{/path/to/file}} srm -m {{/path/to/file}} srm {{/path/to/file}}

• Scurely remove recursively a directory and all it's subdirectories:

srm -r {{/path/to/folder}}

• Prompt before every removal:

srm -i {{\*}}
