mariadb/mysql-test/main/mysqld--help.result

Windows bug: happens when a new line is exactly at the right offset.
The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults Don't read default options from any option file.
The following specify which files/extra groups are read (specified before remaining options):
--defaults-file=# Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=# Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix.

 --allow-suspicious-udfs 
 Allows use of UDFs consisting of only one symbol xxx()
 without corresponding xxx_init() or xxx_deinit(). That
 also means that one can load any function from any
 library, for example exit() from libc.so
 --alter-algorithm[=name] 
 Specify the alter table algorithm. One of: DEFAULT, COPY,
 INPLACE, NOCOPY, INSTANT
 -a, --ansi          Use ANSI SQL syntax instead of MySQL syntax. This mode
 will also set transaction isolation level 'serializable'.
 --auto-increment-increment[=#] 
 Auto-increment columns are incremented by this
 --auto-increment-offset[=#] 
 Offset added to Auto-increment columns. Used when
 auto-increment-increment != 1
 --autocommit        Set default value for autocommit (0 or 1)
 (Defaults to on; use --skip-autocommit to disable.)
 --automatic-sp-privileges 
 Creating and dropping stored procedures alters ACLs
 (Defaults to on; use --skip-automatic-sp-privileges to disable.)
 --back-log=#        The number of outstanding connection requests MariaDB can
 have. This comes into play when the main MariaDB thread
 gets very many connection requests in a very short time
 (Automatically configured unless set explicitly)
 -b, --basedir=name  Path to installation directory. All paths are usually
 resolved relative to this
 --big-tables        Old variable, which if set to 1, allows large result sets
 by saving all temporary sets to disk, avoiding 'table
 full' errors. No longer needed, as the server now handles
 this automatically. sql_big_tables is a synonym.
 --bind-address=name IP address to bind to.
 --binlog-annotate-row-events 
 Tells the master to annotate RBR events with the
 statement that caused these events
 (Defaults to on; use --skip-binlog-annotate-row-events to disable.)
 --binlog-cache-size=# 
 The size of the transactional cache for updates to
 transactional engines for the binary log. If you often
 use transactions containing many statements, you can
 increase this to get more performance
 --binlog-checksum=name 
 Type of BINLOG_CHECKSUM_ALG. Include checksum for log
 events in the binary log. One of: NONE, CRC32
 --binlog-commit-wait-count=# 
 If non-zero, binlog write will wait at most
 binlog_commit_wait_usec microseconds for at least this
 many commits to queue up for group commit to the binlog.
 This can reduce I/O on the binlog and provide increased
 opportunity for parallel apply on the slave, but too high
 a value will decrease commit throughput.
 --binlog-commit-wait-usec=# 
 Maximum time, in microseconds, to wait for more commits
 to queue up for binlog group commit. Only takes effect if
 the value of binlog_commit_wait_count is non-zero.
 --binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates 
 Causes updates to non-transactional engines using
 statement format to be written directly to binary log.
 Before using this option make sure that there are no
 dependencies between transactional and non-transactional
 tables such as in the statement INSERT INTO t_myisam
 SELECT * FROM t_innodb; otherwise, slaves may diverge
 from the master.
 --binlog-do-db=name Tells the master it should log updates for the specified
 database, and exclude all others not explicitly
 mentioned.
 --binlog-file-cache-size=# 
 The size of file cache for the binary log
 --binlog-format=name 
 What form of binary logging the master will use: either
 ROW for row-based binary logging, STATEMENT for
 statement-based binary logging, or MIXED. MIXED is
 statement-based binary logging except for those
 statements where only row-based is correct: those which
 involve user-defined functions (i.e. UDFs) or the UUID()
 function; for those, row-based binary logging is
 automatically used.
 --binlog-ignore-db=name 
 Tells the master that updates to the given database
 should not be logged to the binary log.
 --binlog-optimize-thread-scheduling 
 Run fast part of group commit in a single thread, to
 optimize kernel thread scheduling. On by default. Disable
 to run each transaction in group commit in its own
 thread, which can be slower at very high concurrency.
 This option is mostly for testing one algorithm versus
 the other, and it should not normally be necessary to
 change it.
 (Defaults to on; use --skip-binlog-optimize-thread-scheduling to disable.)
 --binlog-row-event-max-size=# 
 The maximum size of a row-based binary log event in
 bytes. Rows will be grouped into events smaller than this
 size if possible. The value has to be a multiple of 256.
 --binlog-row-image=name 
 Controls whether rows should be logged in 'FULL',
 'NOBLOB' or 'MINIMAL' formats. 'FULL', means that all
 columns in the before and after image are logged.
 'NOBLOB', means that mysqld avoids logging blob columns
 whenever possible (eg, blob column was not changed or is
 not part of primary key). 'MINIMAL', means that a PK
 equivalent (PK columns or full row if there is no PK in
 the table) is logged in the before image, and only
 changed columns are logged in the after image. (Default:
 FULL).
 --binlog-stmt-cache-size=# 
 The size of the statement cache for updates to
 non-transactional engines for the binary log. If you
 often use statements updating a great number of rows, you
 can increase this to get more performance.
 --bootstrap         Used by mysql installation scripts.
 --bulk-insert-buffer-size=# 
 Size of tree cache used in bulk insert optimisation. Note
 that this is a limit per thread!
 --character-set-client-handshake 
 Don't ignore client side character set value sent during
 handshake.
 (Defaults to on; use --skip-character-set-client-handshake to disable.)
 --character-set-filesystem=name 
 Set the filesystem character set.
 -C, --character-set-server=name 
 Set the default character set.
 --character-sets-dir=name 
 Directory where character sets are
 -r, --chroot=name   Chroot mysqld daemon during startup.
 --collation-server=name 
 Set the default collation.
 --column-compression-threshold=# 
 Minimum column data length eligible for compression
 --column-compression-zlib-level=# 
 zlib compression level (1 gives best speed, 9 gives best
 compression)
 --column-compression-zlib-strategy=name 
 The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression
 algorithm. Use the value DEFAULT_STRATEGY for normal
 data, FILTERED for data produced by a filter (or
 predictor), HUFFMAN_ONLY to force Huffman encoding only
 (no string match), or RLE to limit match distances to one
 (run-length encoding). Filtered data consists mostly of
 small values with a somewhat random distribution. In this
 case, the compression algorithm is tuned to compress them
 better. The effect of FILTERED is to force more Huffman
 coding and less string matching; it is somewhat
 intermediate between DEFAULT_STRATEGY and HUFFMAN_ONLY.
 RLE is designed to be almost as fast as HUFFMAN_ONLY, but
 give better compression for PNG image data. The strategy
 parameter only affects the compression ratio but not the
 correctness of the compressed output even if it is not
 set appropriately. FIXED prevents the use of dynamic
 Huffman codes, allowing for a simpler decoder for special
 applications.
 --column-compression-zlib-wrap 
 Generate zlib header and trailer and compute adler32
 check value. It can be used with storage engines that
 don't provide data integrity verification to detect data
 corruption.
 --completion-type=name 
 The transaction completion type. One of: NO_CHAIN, CHAIN,
 RELEASE
 --concurrent-insert[=name] 
 Use concurrent insert with MyISAM. One of: NEVER, AUTO, 
 ALWAYS

 window on windows.
 --core-file         Write core on errors.

 The default week format used by WEEK() functions
 --delay-key-write[=name] 
 Specifies how MyISAM tables handles CREATE TABLE
 DELAY_KEY_WRITE. If set to ON, the default, any DELAY KEY
 WRITEs are honored. The key buffer is then flushed only
 when the table closes, speeding up writes. MyISAM tables
 should be automatically checked upon startup in this
 case, and --external locking should not be used, as it
 can lead to index corruption. If set to OFF, DELAY KEY
 WRITEs are ignored, while if set to ALL, all new opened
 tables are treated as if created with DELAY KEY WRITEs
 enabled.
 --delayed-insert-limit=# 
 After inserting delayed_insert_limit rows, the INSERT
 DELAYED handler will check if there are any SELECT
 statements pending. If so, it allows these to execute
 before continuing.
 --delayed-insert-timeout=# 
 How long a INSERT DELAYED thread should wait for INSERT
 statements before terminating
 --delayed-queue-size=# 
 What size queue (in rows) should be allocated for
 handling INSERT DELAYED. If the queue becomes full, any

 Precision of the result of '/' operator will be increased
 on that value
 --encrypt-binlog    Encrypt binary logs (including relay logs)
 --encrypt-tmp-disk-tables

 cache, etc)
 --enforce-storage-engine=name 
 Force the use of a storage engine for new tables
 --event-scheduler[=name] 
 Enable the event scheduler. Possible values are ON, OFF,
 and DISABLED (keep the event scheduler completely
 deactivated, it cannot be activated run-time)
 --expensive-subquery-limit=# 
 The maximum number of rows a subquery may examine in
 order to be executed during optimization and used for
 constant optimization
 --expire-logs-days=# 
 If non-zero, binary logs will be purged after
 expire_logs_days days; possible purges happen at startup
 and at binary log rotation
 --explicit-defaults-for-timestamp 
 This option causes CREATE TABLE to create all TIMESTAMP
 columns as NULL with DEFAULT NULL attribute, Without this
 option, TIMESTAMP columns are NOT NULL and have implicit
 DEFAULT clauses.
 --external-locking  Use system (external) locking (disabled by default). 
 With this option enabled you can run myisamchk to test
 (not repair) tables while the MySQL server is running.
 Disable with --skip-external-locking.
 --extra-max-connections=#

 --extra-port=#      Extra port number to use for tcp connections in a
 one-thread-per-connection manner. 0 means don't use
 another port

 --flush-time=#      A dedicated thread is created to flush all tables at the
 given interval
 --ft-boolean-syntax=name

 FULLTEXT index. Note: FULLTEXT indexes must be rebuilt
 after changing this variable
 --ft-query-expansion-limit=# 
 Number of best matches to use for query expansion

 --group-concat-max-len=# 
 The maximum length of the result of function
 GROUP_CONCAT()
 --gtid-domain-id=#  Used with global transaction ID to identify logically
 independent replication streams. When events can
 propagate through multiple parallel paths (for example
 multiple masters), each independent source server must
 use a distinct domain_id. For simple tree-shaped
 replication topologies, it can be left at its default, 0.
 --gtid-ignore-duplicates 
 When set, different master connections in multi-source
 replication are allowed to receive and process event
 groups with the same GTID (when using GTID mode). Only
 one will be applied, any others will be ignored. Within a
 given replication domain, just the sequence number will
 be used to decide whether a given GTID has been already
 applied; this means it is the responsibility of the user
 to ensure that GTID sequence numbers are strictly
 increasing.
 --gtid-pos-auto-engines=name 
 List of engines for which to automatically create a
 mysql.gtid_slave_pos_ENGINE table, if a transaction using
 that engine is replicated. This can be used to avoid
 introducing cross-engine transactions, if engines are
 used different from that used by table
 mysql.gtid_slave_pos
 --gtid-strict-mode  Enforce strict seq_no ordering of events in the binary
 log. Slave stops with an error if it encounters an event
 that would cause it to generate an out-of-order binlog if
 executed.

 --histogram-size=#  Number of bytes used for a histogram. If set to 0, no
 histograms are created by ANALYZE.

 tables. Increase this to get better index handling (for
 all reads and multiple writes) to as much as you can
 afford
 --key-cache-age-threshold=# 
 This characterizes the number of hits a hot block has to
 be untouched until it is considered aged enough to be
 downgraded to a warm block. This specifies the percentage
 ratio of that number of hits to the total number of
 blocks in key cache

 The default size of key cache blocks
 --key-cache-division-limit=# 
 The minimum percentage of warm blocks in key cache
 --key-cache-file-hash-size=# 
 Number of hash buckets for open and changed files.  If
 you have a lot of MyISAM files open you should increase
 this for faster flush of changes. A good value is
 probably 1/10 of number of possible open MyISAM files.

 error.
 --log-basename=name Basename for all log files and the .pid file. This sets
 all log file names at once (in 'datadir') and is normally

 should be name for binary log. If not given
 'datadir'/'log-basename'-bin or 'datadir'/mysql-bin will
 be used (the later if --log-basename is not specified).
 We strongly recommend to use either --log-basename or
 specify a filename to ensure that replication doesn't
 stop if the real hostname of the computer changes.
 --log-bin-compress  Whether the binary log can be compressed

 used, creation of a stored function (or trigger) is
 allowed only to users having the SUPER privilege and only
 if this stored function (trigger) may not break binary
 logging. Note that if ALL connections to this server
 ALWAYS use row-based binary logging, the security issues
 do not exist and the binary logging cannot break, so you
 can safely set this to TRUE
 --log-disabled-statements=name 
 Don't log certain types of statements to general log. Any
 combination of: slave, sp
 --log-error[=name]  Log errors to file (instead of stdout).  If file name is
 not specified then 'datadir'/'log-basename'.err or the

 to the binary log. You will need to turn it on if you
 plan to daisy-chain the slaves.
 --log-slow-admin-statements 
 Log slow OPTIMIZE, ANALYZE, ALTER and other
 administrative statements to the slow log if it is open. 
 Resets or sets the option 'admin' in

 condition_pushdown_for_subquery
 --optimizer-use-condition-selectivity=# 
 Controls selectivity of which conditions the optimizer
 takes into account to calculate cardinality of a partial
 join when it searches for the best execution plan
 Meaning: 1 - use selectivity of index backed range
 conditions to calculate the cardinality of a partial join
 if the last joined table is accessed by full table scan
 or an index scan, 2 - use selectivity of index backed
 range conditions to calculate the cardinality of a
 partial join in any case, 3 - additionally always use
 selectivity of range conditions that are not backed by
 any index to calculate the cardinality of a partial join,
 4 - use histograms to calculate selectivity of range
 conditions that are not backed by any index to calculate
 the cardinality of a partial join.5 - additionally use
 selectivity of certain non-range predicates calculated on
 record samples

 --replicate-wild-do-table=name 
 Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
 tables that match the specified wildcard pattern. To
 specify more than one table, use the directive multiple
 times, once for each table. This will work for
 cross-database updates. Example:

 updates to tables in all databases that start with foo
 and whose table names start with bar.
 --replicate-wild-ignore-table=name 
 Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the tables
 that match the given wildcard pattern. To specify more
 than one table to ignore, use the directive multiple
 times, once for each table. This will work for
 cross-database updates. Example:

 slave to register itself with the master. Note that it is
 not sufficient for the master to simply read the IP of
 the slave off the socket once the slave connects. Due to
 NAT and other routing issues, that IP may not be valid
 for connecting to the slave from the master or other
 hosts
 --report-password=name 
 The account password of the slave to be reported to the
 master during slave registration
 --report-port=#     Port for connecting to slave reported to the master

 parallelism, possibly at the cost of increased conflict
 rate. "minimal" only parallelizes the commit steps of
 transactions. "none" disables parallel apply completely.

 will be running on slave, if there was not triggers
 running on the master for the statement. LOGGING also
 means results of that the executed triggers work will be
 written to the binlog.

 roughly equivalent to maximum number of concurrently
 executing threads (threads in a waiting state do not
 count as executing).
 --thread-pool-stall-limit=# 
 Maximum query execution time in milliseconds,before an
 executing non-yielding thread is considered stalled.If a
 worker thread is stalled, additional worker thread may be
 created to handle remaining clients.
 --thread-stack=#    The stack size for each thread
 --time-format=name  The TIME format (ignored)
 --timed-mutexes     Specify whether to time mutexes. Deprecated, has no
 effect.
 --tmp-disk-table-size=# 
 Max size for data for an internal temporary on-disk
 MyISAM or Aria table.
 --tmp-memory-table-size=# 
 If an internal in-memory temporary table exceeds this
 size, MariaDB will automatically convert it to an on-disk
 MyISAM or Aria table. Same as tmp_table_size.
 --tmp-table-size=#  Alias for tmp_memory_table_size. If an internal in-memory
 temporary table exceeds this size, MariaDB will
 automatically convert it to an on-disk MyISAM or Aria
 table.
 -t, --tmpdir=name   Path for temporary files. Several paths may be specified,
 separated by a colon (:), in this case they are used in a
 round-robin fashion
 --transaction-alloc-block-size=# 
 Allocation block size for transactions to be stored in
 binary log
 --transaction-isolation=name 
 Default transaction isolation level. One of: 
 READ-UNCOMMITTED, READ-COMMITTED, REPEATABLE-READ, 
 SERIALIZABLE
 --transaction-prealloc-size=# 
 Persistent buffer for transactions to be stored in binary
 log
 --transaction-read-only 
 Default transaction access mode. True if transactions are
 read-only.
 --updatable-views-with-limit=name 
 YES = Don't issue an error message (warning only) if a
 VIEW without presence of a key of the underlying table is
 used in queries with a LIMIT clause for updating. NO =
 Prohibit update of a VIEW, which does not contain a key
 of the underlying table and the query uses a LIMIT clause
 (usually get from GUI tools)
 --use-stat-tables=name 
 Specifies how to use system statistics tables. One of: 
 NEVER, COMPLEMENTARY, PREFERABLY
 -u, --user=name     Run mysqld daemon as user.
 --userstat          Enables statistics gathering for USER_STATISTICS,
 CLIENT_STATISTICS, INDEX_STATISTICS and TABLE_STATISTICS
 tables in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
 -v, --verbose       Used with --help option for detailed help.
 -V, --version[=name] 
 Output version information and exit.
 --wait-timeout=#    The number of seconds the server waits for activity on a
 connection before closing it
