BRM (Broom) runs in one of two modes: 1. Erase all the free space on a mounted disk so that deleted files are truly deleted. It does this by allocating a temporary file on the disk and writing a buffer of 0's to each block of the file. The size of the file is made equal to the number of free blocks on the volume. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that BRM be used only on quiescent devices as the program allocates every available block on the device! BRM ddn: where ddn is a mounted Files-11 device. 2. Write zeroes to all blocks of an existing file. This could be used to erase the contents of a file before it's deleted or ensure that a file has known initial contents. BRM ddn:[group,member]filename.ext;ver where ddn defaults to SY:; [group,member] defaults to the current UIC; filename.ext must be specified; ;ver defaults to the latest version
