mysql_options4(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the MariaDB Connector/C corner of the man pages 💖 this one is all about mysql_options4 — it's the function you use to set extra connect options and affect how a connection behaves. lowkey iconic, but also... we'll get to that.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <mysql.h>

int mysql_options4(MYSQL * mysql,
                   enum mysql_option,
                   const void * arg1,
                   const void * arg2);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, mysql_options4 is here to set extra connect options and affect behavior for a connection. you can call this function multiple times to set several options, no cap. it's giving "customize your connection, bestie" energy ✨

one important thing: mysql_options() should be called after mysql_init(3). that's the order, periodt. don't skip the init, that's the whole vibe.

💅 NOTES 💅

heads up, bestie: this function is deprecated. new implementations should use the mysql_optionsv(3) API function instead. no cap, fr fr. it still exists, but it's not the main character anymore — mysql_optionsv(3) is taking the spotlight.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

an overview of the possible options can be found in the description of the mysql_optionsv(3) API function. so if you're looking for the full menu of flags and values, that's where you wanna be 👑
