API

secureRemove(file[, options])

Securely remove a file, using a pure JS implementation.

• file (String) - Filepath to securely remove
• options (Object)
  • iterations (Number) - Overwrite the contents N times instead of the default (3).
  • randomSource (String) - Filename to read random bytes from (i.e. /dev/urandom). By default, crypto.randomBytes() is used as the source of random data.
  • size (String|Number) - Shred this many bytes (suffixes like K, M, G accepted). By default, all of the file is shredded.
  • remove (Boolean) - Truncate and remove file after overwriting. Default false.
  • zero (Boolean) - Add a final overwrite with zeros to hide shredding. Default false.
