The noclobber is usually more pain than help. It does not protect files from other writers, like "sort -o file_name". It might be good in a production environment, especially if you code your apps so you are writing files with date-time in the name, new each time.
However, removing write permissions, 'chmod a-w file_name' or an equivalent C/PERL call, after writing a final file is even better: more protective, especially if you avoid doing trivial things logged in as root (never a good idea), and yet less restrictive.

my_print_defaults
MY_PRINT_DEFAULTS(1) MySQL Database System MY_PRINT_DEFAULTS(1)
NAME
my_print_defaults - display options from option files
SYNOPSIS
my_print_defaults [options] option_group ...
DESCRIPTION
my_print_defaults displays the options that are present in option groups of option files. The output indicates what options will be used by
programs that read the specified option groups. For example, the mysqlcheck program reads the [mysqlcheck] and [client] option groups. To
see what options are present in those groups in the standard option files, invoke my_print_defaults like this:
shell> my_print_defaults mysqlcheck client
--user=myusername
--password=secret
--host=localhost
The output consists of options, one per line, in the form that they would be specified on the command line.
my_print_defaults supports the following options.
o --help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
o --config-file=file_name, --defaults-file=file_name, -c file_name
Read only the given option file.
o --debug=debug_options, -# debug_options
Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is 'd:t:o,file_name'. The default is 'd:t:o,/tmp/my_print_defaults.trace'.
o --defaults-extra-file=file_name, --extra-file=file_name, -e file_name
Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix) before the user option file.
o --defaults-group-suffix=suffix, -g suffix
In addition to the groups named on the command line, read groups that have the given suffix.
o --no-defaults, -n
Return an empty string.
o --verbose, -v
Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
o --version, -V
Display version information and exit.
