NAME         top

       mysql_config - get compile options for compiling clients

SYNOPSIS         top

       mysql_config options

DESCRIPTION         top

       mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your
       MariaDB client and connecting it to MariaDB.
       mysql_config supports the following options.
       ·   --cflags
           Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags
           and defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library. The
           options returned are tied to the specific compiler that was used
           when the library was created and might clash with the settings
           for your own compiler. Use --include for more portable options
           that contain only include paths.
       ·   --include
           Compiler options to find MariaDB include files.
       ·   --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
           Libraries and options required to link with the MariaDB embedded
           server.
       ·   --libs
           Libraries and options required to link with the MariaDB client
           library.
       ·   --libs_r
           Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe
           MariaDB client library.
       ·   --plugindir
           The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring
           MariaDB.
       ·   --port
           The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MariaDB.
       ·   --socket
           The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MariaDB.
       ·   --variable=VAR
           Path to MariaDB include, library and plugin directories. VAR is
           one of `pkgincludedir`, `pkglibdir` and `plugindir`,
           respectively.
       ·   --version
           Version number for the MariaDB distribution.
       If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all
       options that it supports, and their values:
           shell> mysql_config
           Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
           Options:
             --cflags         [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
             --include        [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
             --libs           [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
                               -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
             --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
                               -lpthread -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
             --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
             --port           [3306]
             --version        [4.0.16]
             --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lpthread -lz
                               -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
       You can use mysql_config within a command line to include the value
       that it displays for a particular option. For example, to compile a
       MariaDB client program, use mysql_config as follows:
           shell> CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
           shell> sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --include` progname.c `$CFG --libs`"
       When you use mysql_config this way, be sure to invoke it within
       backtick (“`”) characters. That tells the shell to execute it and
       substitute its output into the surrounding command.
