    usage: shred [-fuxz] [-n COUNT] [-o OFFSET] [-s SIZE] FILE...

    Securely delete a file by overwriting its contents with random data.

    -f		Force (chmod if necessary)
    -n COUNT	Random overwrite iterations (default 1)
    -o OFFSET	Start at OFFSET
    -s SIZE		Use SIZE instead of detecting file size
    -u		Unlink (actually delete file when done)
    -x		Use exact size (default without -s rounds up to next 4k)
    -z		Zero at end

    Note: data journaling filesystems render this command useless, you must
    overwrite all free space (fill up disk) to erase old data on those.
