# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| srm: srm (Secure file deletion for posix systems) srm: srm: srm is a secure replacement for rm(1). Unlike the standard rm, it srm: overwrites the data in the target files before unlinking them. This srm: prevents command-line recovery of the data by examining the raw block srm: device. It may also help frustrate a physical examination of the disk, srm: although it's unlikely that it can completely protect against this srm: type of recovery. Please note that srm will NOT work as expected with srm: journaled filesystem (e.g. reiserfs, ext3). srm: srm: Homepage: http://srm.sourceforge.net/
