NAME
mariadb-dump - get compile options for compiling clients
SYNOPSIS
mariadb-dump options
DESCRIPTION
mariadb-dump provides you with useful information for compiling your MariaDB client and connecting it to
MariaDB.
mariadb-dump 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 MariaDB include files.
• --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
Libraries and options required to link with the MariaDB embedded server.
• --libs
Libraries and options required to link with the MariaDB client library.
• --libs_r
Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MariaDB client library.
• --plugindir
The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring MariaDB.
• --port
The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MariaDB.
• --socket
The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MariaDB.
• --variable=VAR
Path to MariaDB include, library and plugin directories. VAR is one of `pkgincludedir`, `pkglibdir`
and `plugindir`, respectively.
• --version
Version number for the MariaDB distribution.
If you invoke mariadb-dump with no options, it displays a list of all options that it supports, and their
values:
shell> mariadb-dump
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mariadb-dump [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
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
-lpthread -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [4.0.16]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld -lpthread -lz
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lrt]
You can use mariadb-dump within a command line to include the value that it displays for a particular
option. For example, to compile a MariaDB client program, use mariadb-dump as follows:
shell> CFG=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mariadb-dump
shell> sh -c "gcc -o progname `$CFG --include` progname.c `$CFG --libs`"
When you use mariadb-dump this way, be sure to invoke it within backtick (“`”) characters. That tells the
shell to execute it and substitute its output into the surrounding command.
