--base64-output[=name]
Determine when the output statements should be base64-encoded BINLOG statements: 'never' disables it and works only for binlogs without row-based events; 'decode-rows' decodes row events into commented SQL statements if the --verbose option is also given; 'auto' prints base64 only when necessary (i.e., for row-based events and format description events); 'always' prints base64 whenever possible. 'always' is deprecated, will be removed in a future version, and should not be used in a production system. --base64-output with no 'name' argument is equivalent to --base64-output=always and is also deprecated. If no --base64-output[=name] option is given at all, the default is 'auto'.
--character-sets-dir=name
Directory for character set files.
-d, --database=name
List entries for just this database (local log only).
--debug-check
Check memory and open file usage at exit .
--debug-info
Print some debug info at exit.
--default-auth=name
Default authentication client-side plugin to use.
-D, --disable-log-bin
Disable binary log. This is useful, if you enabled --to-last-log and are sending the output to the same MySQL server. This way you could avoid an endless loop. You would also like to use it when restoring after a crash to avoid duplication of the statements you already have. NOTE: you will need a SUPER privilege to use this option.
-F, --force-if-open
Force if binlog was not closed properly. (Defaults to on; use --skip-force-if-open to disable.)
-f, --force-read
Force reading unknown binlog events.
-H, --hexdump
Augment output with hexadecimal and ASCII event dump.
-h, --host=name
Get the binlog from server.
-l, --local-load=name
Prepare local temporary files for LOAD DATA INFILE in the specified directory.
-o, --offset=#
Skip the first N entries.
-p, --password[=name]
Password to connect to remote server.
--plugin-dir=name
Directory for client-side plugins.
-P, --port=#
Port number to use for connection or 0 for default to, in order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT, /etc/services, built-in default (3306).
--protocol=name
The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe, memory).
-R, --read-from-remote-server
Read binary logs from a MySQL server.
-r, --result-file=name
Direct output to a given file.
--server-id=#
Extract only binlog entries created by the server having the given id.
--set-charset=name
Add 'SET NAMES character_set' to the output.
-s, --short-form
Just show regular queries: no extra info and no row-based events. This is for testing only, and should not be used in production systems. If you want to suppress base64-output, consider using --base64-output=never instead.
-S, --socket=name
The socket file to use for connection.
--start-datetime=name
Start reading the binlog at first event having a datetime equal or posterior to the argument; the argument must be a date and time in the local time zone, in any format accepted by the MySQL server for DATETIME and TIMESTAMP types, for example: 2004-12-25 11:25:56 (you should probably use quotes for your shell to set it properly).
-j, --start-position=#
Start reading the binlog at position N. Applies to the first binlog passed on the command line.
--stop-datetime=name
Stop reading the binlog at first event having a datetime equal or posterior to the argument; the argument must be a date and time in the local time zone, in any format accepted by the MySQL server for DATETIME and TIMESTAMP types, for example: 2004-12-25 11:25:56 (you should probably use quotes for your shell to set it properly).
--stop-position=#
Stop reading the binlog at position N. Applies to the last binlog passed on the command line.
-t, --to-last-log
Requires -R. Will not stop at the end of the requested binlog but rather continue printing until the end of the last binlog of the MySQL server. If you send the output to the same MySQL server, that may lead to an endless loop.
-u, --user=name
Connect to the remote server as username.
-v, --verbose
Reconstruct SQL statements out of row events. -v -v adds comments on column data types.
-V, --version
Print version and exit.
--open-files-limit=#
Used to reserve file descriptors for use by this program.
