+# resrm
+
+**resrm** is a safe, drop-in replacement for the Linux `rm` command with **undo/restore support**.  
+It moves files to a per-user _trash_ instead of permanently deleting them, while still allowing full `sudo` support for root-owned files.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- Move files and directories to a **trash folder** instead of permanent deletion  
+- Restore deleted files by **short ID or exact basename**  
+- Empty trash safely  
+- Supports `-r`, `-f`, `-i`, `--perma` options  
+- Works with `sudo` for root-owned files  
+
+---
+
