<p>All stuff here is mainly copied from the libtrash doc.</p> |

<pre> |
| 64 |
libtrash is a shared library which, when preloaded, implements a trash can under GNU/Linux. |
| 65 |
This way, your mistakes (at least those of the "rm -rf dir /" class :-)) will no longer cause |
| 66 |
the loss of a week's work or your system's binaries.</pre> |
