Since many of us now live under a repressive 1984-like surveillance (in

"Annihilate," whose sole function is to thoroughly erase, so that all
traces are gone, any file or folder dropped on it. Please improve it,
if you can, and distribute it to all who might find it useful. I myself
keep it permanently on the dock. I welcome any feedback from list

from man rm
BUGS
The -P option assumes that the underlying file system is a fixed-block
file system. UFS is a fixed-block file system, LFS is not. In addition,
only regular files are overwritten, other types of files are not.
