Description : 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).
