SRM (Safely Remove)

Caution

I'm still working on this project, so it's not ready for use yet.

srm is a command-line program to delete files securely.

Motivation

The rm command is the most commonly used command to delete files in Unix-like operating systems. However, it's really easy to accidentally delete important files with it, and never be able to restore it.

srm is a safer alternative to rm that stores deleted files in a trash directory instead of deleting them permanently.

Roadmap

• Basic functionality, like storing deleted files in a trash directory, restoring them, and deleting them permanently.
• Implementing the -r option to delete directories recursively.
• Daemon mode to monitor the trash directory and delete files permanently after a certain period of time.
