Trashbhuwan

Introduction:

A simple CLI Application for trashing & restoring files & its written in pure C. It uses the default trashcan of every Linux distribution. trashbhuwan remembers the original path of the trashed files & directories, so you can restore them later where they were. It is created with developer productivity in mind.

Available options:

trashbhuwan --help                              : Show help
trashbhuwan --empty                             : Empty the trash
trashbhuwan --list                              : List all trashed files & directories with disk usage
trashbhuwan --put [file/directory]              : Put files & directories in trash
trashbhuwan --restore [file/directory]          : Restore trashed file or directory
trashbhuwan --restore-dest [file/directory]     : Restore trashed file or directory to specified destination
trashbhuwan --delete [file/directory]           : Delete trashed file or directory permanently

Pass multiple files separating by double quotes or single quotes.
