MYSQL_CONFIG(1)		     MySQL Database System	       MYSQL_CONFIG(1)

NAME
       mysql_config - display options for compiling clients

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_config options

DESCRIPTION
       mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your
       MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL. It is a shell script, so it is
       available only on Unix and Unix-like systems.

       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 MySQL include files.

       ·   --libmysqld-libs, --embedded

	   Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded
	   server.

       ·   --libs

	   Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client
	   library.

       ·   --libs_r

	   Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL
	   client library.

       ·   --plugindir

	   The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring
	   MySQL. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.24.

       ·   --port

	   The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.

       ·   --socket

	   The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.

       ·   --version

	   Version number for the MySQL 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
			       -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm]
	     --libs_r	      [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
			       -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
	     --socket	      [/tmp/mysql.sock]
	     --port	      [3306]
	     --version	      [5.1.69]
	     --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -ldl
			       -lz -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]

       You can use mysql_config within a command line using backticks to
       include the output that it produces for a particular option. For
       example, to compile and link a MySQL client program, use mysql_config
       as follows:

	   shell> gcc -c `mysql_config --cflags` progname.c
	   shell> gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
