mysql — The MySQL Command-Line Client Do not write line numbers for errors. Useful when you want to compare result files that include error messages. For connections to  localhost , the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of the named pipe to use. On Windows, this option applies only if the server was started with the  named_pipe  system variable enabled to support named-pipe connections. In addition, the user making the connection must be a member of the Windows group specified by the  named_pipe_full_access_group  system variable. Options that begin with  --ssl  specify whether to connect to the server using encryption and indicate where to find SSL keys and certificates. See Command Options for Encrypted Connections. Controls whether to enable FIPS mode on the client side. The  --ssl-fips-mode  option differs from other  --ssl- xxx  options in that it is not used to establish encrypted connections, but rather to affect which cryptographic operations to permit. See Section 6.8, “FIPS Support” . These  --ssl-fips-mode  values are permitted: If the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module is not available, the only permitted value for --ssl-fips-mode  is  OFF . In this case, setting  --ssl-fips-mode  to  ON  or STRICT  causes the client to produce a warning at startup and to operate in non- FIPS mode. This option causes  mysql  to send interactive statements to the system logging facility. On Unix, this is syslog ; on Windows, it is the Windows Event Log. The destination where logged messages appear is system dependent. On Linux, the destination is often the  /var/log/messages  file. Here is a sample of output generated on Linux by using  --syslog . This output is formatted for readability; each logged message actually takes a single line.
