mysql_shutdown(3)

✨ mysql_shutdown — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is mysql_shutdown, a lil function from the MariaDB Connector/C manual (that's the manual name btw, iykyk). it sends a shutdown message to the server. she's giving legacy icon, but also... kinda retired. we'll get to that 💅

🌸 Name 🌸

mysql_shutdown — sends a shutdown message to the server 🫶

🎀 Synopsis 🎀

#include <mysql.h>

int mysql_shutdown(MYSQL * mysql,
                   enum mysql_enum_shutdown_level);

💖 Description 💖

🚨 This function is deprecated. Instead please use the SQL SHUTDOWN command. no cap.

She sends a shutdown message to the server. that's the whole vibe. but fr fr, don't be building new stuff on her — the SQL SHUTDOWN command is the main character now 👑

🦋 Parameter 🦋

• mysql — a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). basically your little connection bestie that you already set up 💜
• mysql_enum_shutdown_level — currently only one shutdown level, SHUTDOWN_DEFAULT, is supported. that's it. that's the only option. periodt.

🌈 Notes 🌈

• To shutdown the database server, the user for the current connection must have SHUTDOWN privileges. no privileges, no shutdown, sorry babe 🙈

⭐ Return value ⭐

Returns zero on success, non-zero on failure. so 0 = ate, anything else = it's giving error 😭

Version 3.4 of the MariaDB Connector/C manual, bestie — that's the source + version tea, and it's the last thing on the page, so this is your cute lil sign-off 🎀✨ bye, go use the SQL SHUTDOWN command instead, mwah 💖
