NAME

    SecRm - Secure file removal utility.

SYNOPSIS

    secrm FILE... [--noprompt] [--verbose]

    secrm --help

DESCRIPTION

    SecRm  provides  a  secure  file removal, erasing any trace of the original
    data  of  the  file  from the media where it was written. A file deleted by
    SecRm cannot be recovered through any file recovery tool.

    It  does this by replacing the contents of the file by a sequence of random
    values  prior  to  delete  it. If the file is retrieved by a recovery tool,
    the  retrieved  data  will  be this random sequence instead of the original
    contents of the file.

    The list of files to be deleted must be provided at the command line.

OPTIONS

    --noprompt
        Remove the files without prompting for confirmation.

    --verbose -v
        Shows  the progress of the deletion of the files on the standard output
        (stdout).

    --help -h
        Shows this help page.
