From: Josjuar Lister <j...@tegosec.com> Hello Coreutils team,
My name is Josjuar Lister, I am a 28 year old free-lance software developer from the United Kingdom. My main work though is System Administration and Security, and of course I'm an avid Linux user. Shred is a tool I often used beause I like many others, value my privacy and security. I've often needed to securely delete many files in a directory and its subdirectories, but shred does not have a feature to do this. Oftentimes, I have written scripts to recursively shred files in a directory, but I think it would be useful to have this feature built into the shred command itself. I decided to add this feature to the shred command and I have tested it to ensure it works as expected. I would appreciate it if you could review this patch and consider including it in the next release of coreutils. Kind regards, Josjuar Lister Josjuar Lister (1): Added new recursive feature to the shred command src/shred.c | 111 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 97 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) -- 2.39.5
