zerof - overwrite a file

This is a little utility created a while ago for systems
without dd.  All it does is overwrite an existing file with
a character of your choice (or random data).

This should **not** be used on Solid-state drives

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive (https) SSD

or similar drives.  If used on an SDD type drive, I doubt it
will really clear the empty space.  Also I am not sure if
this will overwrite data on some Modern File Systems.

Compile Instructions are in the README.md File inside the
tarball of "zero_file.tar.gz".
