trash-cli trashes files recording the original path, deletion date, and
permissions. It uses the same trashcan used by KDE, GNOME, and XFCE, but
you can invoke it from the command line (and scripts).

It provides these commands:

trash-put     : trashes files and directories.
trash-empty   : empty the trashcan(s).
trash-list    : list trashed files.
trash-restore : restore a trashed file.
trash-rm      : remove individual files from trash can.
