-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.

When you use the rm command in terminal or any other CLI, where do
the deleted files go ?
They don't "go" anywhere, they are unlinked from the filesystem and
the "inodes" are released. (Actually HFS doesn't use inodes, but it's
the same concept.)
Do they go to a "trash can" or are they immediately deleted from the
hard drive ?
Neither. Files are actually never "deleted", they are only
dereferrenced.
