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.

       ·   --help, -?

           Display a help message and exit.

       ·   --config-file=file_name, --defaults-file=file_name, -c file_name

           Read only the given option file.

       ·   --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´.

       ·   --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.

       ·   --defaults-group-suffix=suffix, -g suffix

           In addition to the groups named on the command line, read groups that have the given suffix.

       ·   --no-defaults, -n

           Return an empty string.

       ·   --verbose, -v

           Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.

       ·   --version, -V

           Display version information and exit.
