Description

Sensitive files can be removed with overwriting before unlinking, using a command intended as a safer replacement for `rm`. The package installs `srm` for destructive secure-deletion workflows from a terminal. Mistakes are intentionally hard to recover from, so paths, shell globs, and backups must be checked before running it.

How to run

srm

Commands: srm
