Need to Delete a File for Good -- not even GOD can recover.

    You have a file "secret".  The following makes it so no one
    can read it.  If the file was 12 bytes, it's now 4096 after it
    has been over written 100 times.  There's no way to recover this.

      $ shred -n 100 -z secret

    Want to remove the file? Use the "u" option.

      $ shred -n 100 -z -u test2

    It can be applied to a device

      $ shred -n 100 -z -u /dev/fd0
