This is the executable that is ran when pressing the Brick Device button on [[InternalUI Builds]]. It uses MobileObliteration.framework to "obliterate", otherwise known as wiping the device.

= Usage =
usage: trigger_obliteration [OPTIONS] [--message MESSAGE] TYPE [SAVEPATHS ...]
Trigger an obliteration.
The obliterator is capable of preserving arbitrary filesystem paths across
an obliteration. SAVEPATHS is an optional set of paths that will be saved.
Each path that is a directory will be recreated with the same mode and owners.
Each path that is a regular file will be recreated with the same mode, owners,
and file contents.
Obliteration Types:
brick Destroys data partition, system partition, and erases firmware,
causing the device to drop into DFU on reboot. Device will require
a software restore before it will be useable again.
data Destroys data partition only, reboots into a "factory fresh" state.
Options:
--progress Shows the progress bar. This is the default. Last of this,
and "--noprogress" takes effect. This is the default.
--noprogress Shows only Apple logo. Last of this and "--progress" takes effect.
--message A message to leave in NVRAM. This is for debugging purposes.
Examples:
Perform a regular wipe. Leaving a message in NVRAM.
$ trigger_obliteration --message "Hi guys!" data
Perform a regular wipe preserving the file '/var/root/.sh_history'.
$ trigger_obliteration data /var/root/.sh_history
Perform a system partition wipe, leaving the device unbootable until a restore.
$ trigger_obliteration brick

= Usage in Internal UI Builds =
[[File:Brick device reupload.png|thumb|right|The brick device button on [[Innsbruck 11A465 (Internal UI build)|Innsbruck 11A465]]]]
