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

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