my_print_defaults — Display Options from Option Files 4.7.2 my_print_defaults — Display Options from Option Files my_print_defaults  displays the options that are present in option groups of option files. The output indicates what options are 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: 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. • --config-file= file_name ,  --defaults-file= file_name ,  -c  file_name • --help ,  -? shell>  my_print_defaults mysqlcheck client --user=myusername --password= password --host=localhost Display a help message and exit. 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 . Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix) before the user option file. For additional information about this and other option-file options, see Section 4.2.2.3, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling” . • --defaults-extra-file= file_name ,  --extra-file= file_name ,  -e  file_name • --defaults-group-suffix= suffix ,  -g  suffix In addition to the groups named on the command line, read groups that have the given suffix. For additional information about this and other option-file options, see Section 4.2.2.3, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling” . Read options from the named login path in the  .mylogin.cnf  login path file. A “login path”  is an option group containing options that specify which MySQL server to connect to and which account to authenticate as. To create or modify a login path file, use the  mysql_config_editor  utility. See Section 4.6.7, “mysql_config_editor — MySQL Configuration Utility” . For additional information about this and other option-file options, see Section 4.2.2.3, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling” . • --login-path= name ,  -l  name Return an empty string.
