Description-en: wrapper around the rm command to prevent accidental deletions
This package provides a tool intended to prevent the accidental deletion
of important files by replacing rm with a wrapper, which checks the
given arguments against a configurable list of exclusions for files and
directories that should never be removed.
.
Users who attempt to delete one of these protected files or directories will
not be able to do so and will be shown a warning message instead.
.
Protected paths can be set both at the site and user levels.
