We've all been there. A late night, a tired brain, and a dd command with a typo in the output file. In the world of systems administration, a single character can be the difference between a successful backup and destroyed data.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Today, I am proud to introduce libclaymore. Simply install and configure it according to the README.md and never again scramble for backups (you have those, *right*?) after swapping if= and of=.libclaymore

works by introducing a cognitive speed bump. When armed, it prohibits the standard of=. Instead, you must use enemy= or target=, both of which are very different from if=.
