It works the same. Same thing for deleted block or char devices, deleted
plain files, deleted directoy, deleted pipes, deleted socket and so on.

The class "detruit" entry which signature is 'x' is the name of the
object that has been deleted. Note that it retains the signature of the
original file, thus if at restoration time the file to delete is not of
the expected category (for example a pipe should be delete but the
filesystem presents a char block device), a warning is issued by dar.
