MYSQL_CLIENT_TEST(1)                        MySQL Database System                       MYSQL_CLIENT_TEST(1)



NAME
       mysql_client_test - test client API
       mysql_client_test_embedded - test client API for embedded server

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_client_test [options] [test_name] ...

       mysql_client_test_embedded [options] [test_name] ...

DESCRIPTION
       The mysql_client_test program is used for testing aspects of the MySQL client API that cannot be
       tested using mysqltest and its test language.  mysql_client_test_embedded is similar but used for
       testing the embedded server. Both programs are run as part of the test suite.

       The source code for the programs can be found in in test/mysql_client_test.c in a source
       distribution. The program serves as a good source of examples illustrating how to use various
       features of the client API.

       mysql_client_test supports the following options:

         --help, -?

          Display a help message and exit.

         -b dir_name, --basedir=dir_name

          The base directory for the tests.

         -t count, --count=count

          The number of times to execute the tests.

         --database=db_name, -D db_name

          The database to use.

         --debug[=debug_options], -#[debug_options]

          Write a debugging log if MySQL is built with debugging support. The default debug_options value is
          'd:t:o,/tmp/mysql_client_test.trace'.

         -g option, --getopt-ll-test=option

          Option to use for testing bugs in the getopt library.

         --host=host_name, -h host_name

          Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.

         --password[=password], -p[password]

          The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (-p), you
          cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following
          the --password or -p option on the command line, you are prompted for one.

         --port=port_num, -P port_num

          The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.

         -A arg, --server-arg=arg

          Argument to send to the embedded server.

         -T, --show-tests

          Show all test names.

         --silent, -s

          Be more silent.

         --socket=path, -S path

          The socket file to use when connecting to localhost (which is the default host).

         -c, --testcase

          The option may disable some code when run as a mysql-test-run.pl test case.

         --user=user_name, -u user_name

          The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.

         -v dir_name, --vardir=dir_name

          The data directory for tests. The default is mysql-test/var.
