/usr/bin/mysqlimport  Ver 3.7 Distrib 10.6.28-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64)

Loads tables from text files in various formats.  The base name of the
text file must be the name of the table that should be used.
If one uses sockets to connect to the MariaDB server, the server will open
and read the text file directly. In other cases the client will open the text
file. The SQL command 'LOAD DATA INFILE' is used to import the rows.

Usage: /usr/bin/mysqlimport [OPTIONS] database textfile...

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
The following groups are read: mysqlimport mariadb-import client client-server client-mariadb
The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults          Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults             Don't read default options from any option file.
The following specify which files/extra groups are read (specified before remaining options):
--defaults-file=#         Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=#   Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# Additionally read default groups with # appended as a suffix.

  --fields-terminated-by=name

                      Fields in the import file are enclosed by the given
                      character.
  --fields-optionally-enclosed-by=name
                      Fields in the input file are optionally enclosed by the
