Hi,

The -Q option must be in conjunction with -q. This is explicity in
manpage:

 -q (quick wipe)
     If this option is used, wipe will only make (by default) 4 passes on each 
file, writing random data. See option -Q

 -Q <number-of-passes>
     Sets the number of passes for quick wiping. Default is 4.


The command error also says:

# wipe -Q 1 1
Invocation error (-h for help): option -Q useless without -q


However, I will make it a bit more clean in manpage.

Regards,

Eriberto
