mysqlman(1)

💖 mysqlman(1) — the default man page for mysql, bestie 💖

okay so real talk: this is mysqlman, the fallback man page in the MySQL database manual. she's the understudy. the swing. the one who goes on when nobody else showed up. and honestly? she's serving. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mysqlman — the default man page for mysql. yes, that's the whole name section, she's lowkey mysterious like that 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: some of the executables that ship with the MySQL database management system just… don't have their own specific man pages. no dedicated page, no solo moment, nothing. 😭

and that's where this page comes in. this is the generic one. the group chat when you DM the wrong person. if you got here looking for a specific executable's docs, surprise — this is the shared/default page instead. 🦋

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

okay but don't panic, you're not stranded!! in most cases you can just run the executable straight from the command line with a --help argument, and it'll show you a brief summary of that executable's arguments and what it does. iconic behaviour, honestly. ⭐

and if you want the full lore about MySQL? go read the MySQL reference manual. it might already be installed locally on your machine (check first, bestie, it's giving "it was in your downloads folder the whole time"), and it's also available online at:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug? not me being the one to tell you, but please actually report it instead of just complaining in the group chat 🙈 head to:

http://bugs.mysql.com/

and drop it there. they want to know. fr fr.

🌈 reminder: every option, path, URL and caveat above is exactly as the original page states it. I'm just the hype woman, not the source of truth. 💜

mwah that's it, that's the page!! this one's from MySQL, dated 20 July 2004 — a certified vintage icon 👑 — and she's filed right there under mysqlman(1) in section 1. stay hydrated, read your man pages, and go check --help before you come for this page. bye bestie!! 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
