MetadataHandler

sys_shred::core::metadata

Struct MetadataHandler

pub struct MetadataHandler;

Expand description

A utility for scrubbing and randomizing file metadata.

This component focuses on the anti-forensic aspects of shredding that go beyond raw data destruction.

Implementations§

impl MetadataHandler

pub fn obfuscate_filename(path: &Path) -> ShredResult<PathBuf>

Renames a file to a randomly generated alphanumeric string.

pub fn truncate(path: &Path) -> ShredResult<()>

Truncates a file to zero bytes and flushes the change.

pub fn trim(path: &Path) -> ShredResult<()>

Informs the OS/Hardware to discard the file’s blocks (TRIM).

On Linux, this uses fallocate with FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE. On Windows, it uses FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA.
