[QUOTE="technologist, post: 116527, member: 4134"] The command line [b]srm[/b] utility will use Gutmann by default. [url]http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/srm.1.html[/url] So does the [b]diskutil[/b] command.[url]http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/diskutil.8.html[/url] I believe the equivalent GUI features (Secure Empty Trash and Disk Utility, respectively) are just front-ends to these, although I can find no official documentation to support that. There are also a number of third-party GUI frontends to srm/Gutmann.
