srm - secure file deletion for posix systems

srm is a secure replacement for rm(1). Unlike the standard
rm, it overwrites the data in the target files before unlinking
them. This prevents command-line recovery of the data by
examining the raw block device. It may also help frustrate physical
examination of the disk, although it's unlikely that it can
completely prevent that type of recovery. It is, essentially,
a paper shredder for sensitive files.

srm is ideal for personal computers or workstations with Internet
connections. It can help prevent malicious users from breaking in
and undeleting personal files, such as old emails. It's also useful
for permanently removing files from expensive media. For example,
cleaning your diary off the zip disk you're using to send vacation
pictures to Uncle Lou.  Because it uses the exact same options as
rm(1), srm is simple to use. Just subsitute it for rm whenever you
want to destroy files, rather than just unlinking them.
