12 mysqld, also known as MariaDB Server, is the main program that does
13 most of the work in a MariaDB installation. MariaDB Server manages
14 access to the MariaDB data directory that contains databases and
15 tables. The data directory is also the default location for other
16 information such as log files and status files.
17
18 When MariaDB server starts, it listens for network connections from
19 client programs and manages access to databases on behalf of those
20 clients.
21
22 The mysqld program has many options that can be specified at startup.
23 For a complete list of options, run this command:
24
25 shell> mysqld --verbose --help
26
27 MariaDB Server also has a set of system variables that affect its
28 operation as it runs. System variables can be set at server startup,
29 and many of them can be changed at runtime to effect dynamic server
30 reconfiguration. MariaDB Server also has a set of status variables that
31 provide information about its operation. You can monitor these status
32 variables to access runtime performance characteristics.
33
34 For a full description of MariaDB Server command options, system
35 variables, and status variables, see the MariaDB Knowledge Base.
