SRM (Safely Remove)

srm is a command-line program to delete files securely.

Motivation

The rm command is the most commonly used command to delete files in Unix-like operating systems. However, the rm command does not delete the file securely. The file can be recovered using data recovery tools. The srm command is used to delete files securely. The srm command overwrites the file with random data before deleting it. This makes it impossible to recover the file using data recovery tools.

Roadmap

• Basic functionality, like storing deleted files in a trash directory, restoring them, and deleting them permanently.
• Implementing the -r option to delete directories recursively.
• Daemon mode to monitor the trash directory and delete files permanently after a certain period of time.
