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 { get; set; }

Visual Basic (Declaration)
    Public Property Overwrite As Boolean

Visual C++
    public:
    property bool Overwrite {
    	bool get ();
    	void set (bool value);
    }

# 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.
