NAMEshred − overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it
SYNOPSISshred [OPTION]... FILE...
DESCRIPTION Overwrite the specified FILE(s) repeatedly, in order to make it harder for even very expensive hardware probing to recover the data. If FILE is −, shred standard output. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. −f, −−force change permissions to allow writing if necessary −n, −−iterations=N overwrite N times instead of the default (3) −−random−source=FILE get random bytes from FILE −s, −−size=N shred this many bytes (suffixes like K, M, G accepted) −u deallocate and remove file after overwriting −−remove[=HOW] like −u but give control on HOW to delete; See below −v, −−verbose show progress −x, −−exact do not round file sizes up to the next full block; this is the default for non−regular files −z, −−zero add a final overwrite with zeros to hide shredding −−help display this help and exit −−version output version information and exit Delete FILE(s) if −−remove (−u) is specified. The default is not to remove the files because it is common to operate on device files like /dev/hda, and those files usually should not be removed. The optional HOW parameter indicates how to remove a directory entry: 'unlink' => use a standard unlink call. 'wipe' => also first obfuscate bytes in the name. 'wipesync' => also sync each obfuscated byte to the device. The default mode is 'wipesync', but note it can be expensive. CAUTION: shred assumes the file system and hardware overwrite data in place. Although this is common, many platforms operate otherwise. Also, backups and mirrors may contain unremovable copies that will let a shredded file be recovered later. See the GNU coreutils manual for details.
