Synopsis
- ptrash [Option] file-name-1 [file-name-2 …]
Description
ptrash is a console based simple application.
ptrash moves the named file(s) to trash directory located under the home directory of a user. In case if ~/.trash is non-existent,
ptrash creates it for you and then moves the file(s) to this directory. By default, ptrash runs in non-interactive mode, which means it does not ask user if she is sure to move the file to ~/.trash even when the named file already exists in trash and proceeds with overwriting that file.
Options
ptrash supports the following options
- -d –delete
- Delete file(s) from trash
- -h –help
- Prints this short usage help
- -i
- Enables an interactive moving of files to trash, that is ask for confirmation before over writing an existing file in trash
- -r –restore
- Restore a file from trash to it’s original location
- -v –verbose
