+ usage: shred [-fuz] [-n COUNT] [-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.
