If true, overwrite files stored in encrypted formats before deleting them.

Namespace:  BerkeleyDB
Assembly:  libdb_dotnet181 (in libdb_dotnet181.dll) Version: 18.1.32.0

Syntax

C#
public bool Overwrite
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overwrite As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
bool Overwrite

Remarks

Berkeley DB overwrites files using alternating 0xff, 0x00 and 0xff byte patterns. For an effective overwrite, the underlying file must be stored on a fixed-block filesystem. Systems with journaling or logging filesystems require operating system support and probably modification of the Berkeley DB sources.
