This option is useful when you are running  mysqld  under a debugger. On some systems, you also must use this option to get a core file. See Section 5.9, “Debugging MySQL” . This option controls the Windows service control manager’s service start timeout. The value is the maximum number of milliseconds that the service control manager waits before trying to kill the windows service during startup. The default value is 15000 (15 seconds). If the MySQL service takes too long to start, you may need to increase this value. A value of 0 means there is no timeout. On Unix, this option specifies the Unix socket file to use when listening for local connections. The default value is  /tmp/mysql.sock . If this option is given, the server creates the file in the data directory unless an absolute path name is given to specify a different directory. On Windows, the option specifies the pipe name to use when listening for local connections that use a named pipe. The default value is  MySQL  (not case-sensitive).
