SYNOPSIS
9       mysql_config options
10

DESCRIPTION
12       mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your
13       MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL.
14
15       mysql_config supports the following options:
16
17       ·  --cflags
18
19          Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags and
20          defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library.
21
22       ·  --include
23
24          Compiler options to find MySQL include files. (Note that normally
25          you would use --cflags instead of this option.)
26
27       ·  --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
28
29          Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded
30          server.
31
32       ·  --libs
33
34          Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client
35          library.
36
37       ·  --libs_r
38
39          Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL
40          client library.
41
42       ·  --port
43
44          The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.
45
46       ·  --socket
47
48          The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.
49
50       ·  --version
51
52          Version number for the MySQL distribution.
53
54
55If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all options
56that it supports, and their values:
57
58   shell> mysql_config
59   Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
60   Options:
61     --cflags         [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
62     --include        [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
63     --libs           [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz
64                       -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
65     --libs_r         [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
66                       -lpthread -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
67     --socket         [/tmp/mysql.sock]
68     --port           [3306]
69     --version        [4.0.16]
70     --libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lpthread -lz
71                       -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
72
73You can use mysql_config within a command line to include the value that it
74displays for a particular option. For example, to compile a MySQL client
75program, use mysql_config as follows:
76
77   shell> CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
78   shell> sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --cflags` progname.c `$CFG --libs`"
79
80When you use mysql_config this way, be sure to invoke it within backtick (‘`’)
81characters. That tells the shell to execute it and substitute its output into
82the surrounding command.
