    Summary: Program for secure cleaning of free space on file systems
    Description: 
    The wipefreespace is a program which securely cleans free space on given
    file systems, making confidential removed data recovery impossible.
    
    It also removes deleted files' names so that no trace is left.
    
    WARNING: it is REQUIRED to specify a --method, otherwise you might think
    the data is purged but it's still there actually.
    
    Supported file systems are: ext2/3/4, NTFS, XFS.
