Meaning that you can issue this command: + + $ trash foo bar + +and the files 'foo' and 'bar' will be moved to your system trash. + +or... + + $ trash baz\ quux + +and the file 'baz quux' will be moved to your system trash. + +Simple as that. When you're really really sure that everything in +your Trash wants to be nuked out of existence, then you can +issue the command: + + $ trash --empty + +and your system trash will be emptied. + + +System Trash +--------------- + +Trashy defines a "system trash" on Linux, BSD, and Solaris-based +operating systems in accordance to the Open Desktop standard: +~/.local/share/Trash + +On systems that do not use a desktop, trashy simply creates a ~/.trash +folder (unless you sometimes use a desktop, in which case your +desktop's tash will be continued to be used). + +On systems that do have a desktop but do not follow the Open Desktop +standard, trashy tries to conform with what they do use. If all else +fails, ~/.trash is used. |
