NAME
srm - securely remove files or directoriesSYNOPSIS
srm [OPTION]... FILE...DESCRIPTION
srm removes each specified file by overwriting, renaming, and truncating it before unlinking. This prevents other people from undeleting or recovering any information about the file from the command line. By default srm uses 35 passes to overwrite the file's contents. If this seems overkill you can use use the --dod or --openbsd or --simple option which use less passes.
srm, like every program that uses the getopt function to parse its arguments, lets you use the -- option to indicate that all following arguments are non-options. To remove a file called `-f' in the current directory, you could type either
- rm -- -f
- rm ./-f
OPTIONS
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
- -d, --directory
- ignored (for compatability with rm(1))
- -f, --force
- ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
- -i, --interactive
- prompt before any removal
- -r, -R, --recursive
- remove the contents of directories recursively
- -s, --simple
- only overwrite the file with a single pass of random data
- -P, --openbsd
- OpenBSD compatible rm. Overwrite regular files before deleting them. Files are overwritten three times, first with the byte pattern 0xff, then 0x00, and then 0xff again, before they are deleted. Files with multiple links will be unlinked but not overwritten.
- -D, --dod
- Dod compliant 7-pass overwrite.
- -v, --verbose
- explain what is being done
- -h, --help
- display this help and exit
- -V, --version
- output version information and exit
NOTES
srm can not remove write protected files owned by another user, regardless of the permissions on the directory containing the file.
Development and discussion of srm is carried out at http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=3297 which is also accessible via http://srm.sourceforge.net.
