Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Scrub writes patterns on files or disk devices to make retrieving the data more difficult. It operates in one of three modes: 1) the special file corresponding to an entire disk is scrubbed and all data on it is destroyed; 2) a regular file is scrubbed and only the data in the file (and optionally its name in the directory entry) is destroyed; or 3) a regular file is created, expanded until the file system is full, then scrubbed as in 2).
