In case it wasn't clear I am NOT proposing a UI like this:

$ zfs bleach ~/Documents/company-finance.odp

Instead ~/Documents or ~ would be a ZFS file system with a policy set something like this:

# zfs set erase=file:zero

Or maybe more like this:

# zfs create -o erase=file -o erasemethod=zero homepool/darrenm

The goal is the same as the goal for things like compression in ZFS, no application change it is "free" for the applications.

All of the same reasons for doing crypto outside of a command like encrypt(1) apply here too - especially the temp file and rename problems.
