• mtm-ddwipe must print a usage line and support -h/--help.
• Validate that wipe targets are real block devices before operating on them.
• Keep short, explicit confirmation prompts before destructive operations.
• Prefer confirmation prompts that require typing the target device path or an exact safety phrase.
