-.SH NAME
-nwipe \- securely erase disks
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B nwipe
-[\fIoptions\fR] [\fIdevice1\fR] [\fIdevice2\fR] ...
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-nwipe is a command that will securely erase disks using a variety of
-recognised methods. It is a fork of the dwipe command used by Darik's Boot
-and Nuke (dban). nwipe is included with partedmagic if you want a quick and
-easy bootable CD version. nwipe was created out of a need to run the DBAN
-dwipe command outside of DBAN, in order to allow its use with any host
-distribution, thus giving better hardware support. It is essentially the
-same as dwipe, with a few changes:
-.TP
-- pthreads is used instead of fork
-.TP
-- The parted library is used to detect drives
-.TP
-- The code is designed to be compiled with gcc
-.TP
-- SIGUSR1 can be used to log the stats of the current wipe

-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
-Prints the version number
-.TP
-\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
-Prints a help summary
-.TP
-\fB\-\-autonuke\fR
-If no devices have been specified on the command line, starts wiping all
-devices immediately. If devices have been specified, starts wiping only
-those specified devices immediately.
-.TP
-\fB\-\-autopoweroff\fR
-Power off system on completion of wipe delayed for one minute. During
-this one minute delay you can abort the shutdown by typing sudo shutdown -c
-.TP
-\fB\-\-sync\fR=\fINUM\fR
-Will perform a syn after NUM writes (default: 100000)
-.IP
-0 \- fdatasync after the disk is completely written
- fdatasync errors not detected until completion.
- 0 is not recommended as disk errors may cause nwipe
- to appear to hang
-.IP
-1 \- fdatasync after every write
- Warning: Lower values will reduce wipe speeds.
-.IP
-1000 \- fdatasync after 1000 writes
-.TP
-\fB\-\-noblank\fR
-Do not perform the final blanking pass after the wipe (default is to blank,
-except when the method is RCMP TSSIT OPS\-II).
-.TP
-\fB\-\-nowait\fR
-Do not wait for a key before exiting (default is to wait).
-.TP
-\fB\-\-nosignals\fR
-Do not allow signals to interrupt a wipe (default is to allow).
-.TP
-\fB\-\-nousb\fR
-Do not show or wipe any USB devices, whether in GUI, --nogui or autonuke
-mode. (default is to allow USB devices to be shown and wiped).
-.TP
-\fB\-\-nogui\fR
-Do not show the GUI interface. Can only be used with the autonuke option.
-Nowait option is automatically invoked with the nogui option.
-SIGUSR1 can be used to retrieve the current wiping statistics.
-.TP
-\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
-Log more messages, useful for debugging.
-.TP
-\fB\-\-verify\fR=\fITYPE\fR
-Whether to perform verification of erasure (default: last)
-.IP
-off \- Do not verify
-.IP
-last \- Verify after the last pass
-.IP
-all \- Verify every pass
-.IP
-Please mind that HMG IS5 enhanced always verifies the last (PRNG) pass
-regardless of this option.
-.TP
