|
||||||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||||
|
\fBntfswipe\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIdevice\fR
|
||||||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
.B ntfswipe
|
||||||
|
clears all or part of unused space on an NTFS volume by overwriting
|
||||||
|
with zeroes or random bytes.
|
||||||
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||||
|
Below is a summary of all the options that
|
||||||
|
.B ntfswipe
|
||||||
|
accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is
|
||||||
|
preceded by
|
||||||
|
.B \-
|
||||||
|
and the long name is preceded by
|
||||||
|
.BR \-\- .
|
||||||
|
Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a
|
||||||
|
single command, e.g.
|
||||||
|
.B \-fv
|
||||||
|
is equivalent to
|
||||||
|
.BR "\-f \-v" .
|
||||||
|
Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.

||||||

Use this option with caution.

||||||

||||||
|
