According to the rm man page
rm -P ...
overwrites items three times to delete them securely:
> -P Overwrite regular files before deleting them. Files are
> overwritten three times, first with the byte pattern 0xff,
> then 0x00, and then 0xff again, before they are deleted.
Is it possible to single pass secure delete items with rm ...
?
Notes:
- I don't want to use srm ! I need rm only, please.
- I use a MacBook with an HDD and macOS 10.13.
