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.
