- Overwrite a file:
|
|
|
|
`shred {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Overwrite a file and show progress on the screen:
|
|
|
|
`shred {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Overwrite a file, leaving zeros instead of random data:
|
|
|
|
`shred {{[-z|--zero]}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Overwrite a file a specific number of times:
|
|
|
|
`shred {{[-n|--iterations]}} {{25}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Overwrite a file and remove it:
|
|
|
|
`shred {{[-u|--remove]}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Overwrite a file 100 times, add a final overwrite with zeros, remove the file after overwriting it and show verbose progress on the screen:
|
|
|
|
`shred {{[-vzun|--verbose --zero --remove --iterations]}} 100 {{path/to/file}}`
