/usr/bin/mysqldump

/usr/bin/mysqldump: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use '/usr/bin/mariadb-dump' instead
/usr/bin/mysqldump from 11.8.9-MariaDB, client 10.20 for Linux (x86_64)
Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

Dumping structure and contents of MariaDB databases and tables.
Usage: mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR     mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR     mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases
OR     mysqldump [OPTIONS] --system=[SYSTEMOPTIONS]]

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: mysqldump mariadb-dump 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.

  -A, --all-databases Dump all the databases. This will be same as --databases
                      with all databases selected.
  -Y, --all-tablespaces
                      Dump all the tablespaces.
  -y, --no-tablespaces
                      Do not dump any tablespace information.
  --add-drop-database Add a DROP DATABASE before each create.
  --add-drop-table    Add a DROP TABLE before each create.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-add-drop-table to disable.)
  --add-drop-trigger  Add a DROP TRIGGER before each create.
  --add-locks         Add locks around INSERT statements.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-add-locks to disable.)
  --allow-keywords    Allow creation of column names that are keywords.
  --apply-slave-statements
                      Adds 'STOP SLAVE' prior to 'CHANGE MASTER' and 'START
                      SLAVE' to bottom of dump.
  --as-of=name        Dump system versioned table(s) as of specified timestamp.
                      Argument is interpreted according to the --tz-utc
                      setting. Table structures are always dumped as of current
                      timestamp.
  --character-sets-dir=name
                      Directory for character set files.
  -i, --comments      Write additional information.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-comments to disable.)
  --compatible=name   Change the dump to be compatible with a given mode. By
                      default tables are dumped in a format optimized for
                      MariaDB. Legal modes are: ansi, mysql323, mysql40,
                      postgresql, oracle, mssql, db2, maxdb, no_key_options,
                      no_table_options, no_field_options. One can use several
                      modes separated by commas. Note: Requires MariaDB server
                      version 4.1.0 or higher. This option is ignored with
                      earlier server versions.
  --compact           Give less verbose output (useful for debugging). Disables
                      structure comments and header/footer constructs.  Enables
                      options --skip-add-drop-table --skip-add-locks
                      --skip-comments --skip-disable-keys --skip-set-charset.
  -c, --complete-insert
                      Use complete insert statements.
  -C, --compress      Use compression in server/client protocol.
  --copy-s3-tables    If 'no' S3 tables will be ignored, otherwise S3 tables
                      will be copied as  Aria tables and then altered to S3
  -a, --create-options
                      Include all MariaDB specific create options.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-create-options to disable.)
  -B, --databases     Dump several databases. Note the difference in usage; in
                      this case no tables are given. All name arguments are
                      regarded as database names. 'USE db_name;' will be
                      included in the output.
  -#, --debug[=#]     This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit.
  --debug-check       Check memory and open file usage at exit.
  --debug-info        Print some debug info at exit.
  --default-character-set=name
                      Set the default character set.
  --delayed-insert    Insert rows with INSERT DELAYED.
  --delete-master-logs
                      Delete logs on master after backup. This automatically
                      enables --master-data.
  -D, --dir=name      directory to store the backup. Table data is stored in
                      tab-separated file, similar to --tab option,in a
                      subdirectory with database name.
  -K, --disable-keys  '/*!40000 ALTER TABLE tb_name DISABLE KEYS */; and
                      '/*!40000 ALTER TABLE tb_name ENABLE KEYS */; will be put
                      in the output.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-disable-keys to disable.)
  --dump-date         Put a dump date to the end of the output.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-dump-date to disable.)
  -H, --dump-history  Dump system-versioned tables with history (only for
                      timestamp based versioning). Use also --update-history if
                      upgrading to MariaDB 11.5 or newer from a version before
                      11.5
  --update-history    Update row_end history timestamp to support dates up to
                      year 2106. This option will also enable tz-utc. Should be
                      used when upgrading to MariaDB 11.5 or above.
  --dump-slave[=#]    This causes the binary log position and filename of the
                      master to be appended to the dumped data output. Setting
                      the value to 1, will printit as a CHANGE MASTER command
                      in the dumped data output; if equal to 2, that command
                      will be prefixed with a comment symbol. This option will
                      turn --lock-all-tables on, unless --single-transaction is
                      specified too (in which case a global read lock is only
                      taken a short time at the beginning of the dump - don't
                      forget to read about --single-transaction below). In all
                      cases any action on logs will happen at the exact moment
                      of the dump.Option automatically turns --lock-tables off.
  -E, --events        Dump events.
  -e, --extended-insert
                      Use multiple-row INSERT syntax that include several
                      VALUES lists.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-extended-insert to disable.)
  --fields-terminated-by=name
                      Fields in the output file are terminated by the given
                      string.
  --fields-enclosed-by=name
                      Fields in the output file are enclosed by the given
                      character.
  --fields-optionally-enclosed-by=name
                      Fields in the output file are optionally enclosed by the
                      given character.
  --fields-escaped-by=name
                      Fields in the output file are escaped by the given
                      character.
  -F, --flush-logs    Flush logs file in server before starting dump. Note that
                      if you dump many databases at once (using the option
                      --databases= or --all-databases), the logs will be
                      flushed for each database dumped. The exception is when
                      using --lock-all-tables or --master-data: in this case
                      the logs will be flushed only once, corresponding to the
                      moment all tables are locked. So if you want your dump
                      and the log flush to happen at the same exact moment you
                      should use --lock-all-tables or --master-data with
                      --flush-logs.
  --flush-privileges  Emit a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement after dumping the mysql
                      database.  This option should be used any time the dump
                      contains the mysql database and any other database that
                      depends on the data in the mysql database for proper
                      restore.
  -f, --force         Continue even if we get an SQL error.
  --gtid              Used together with --master-data=1 or --dump-slave=1.When
                      enabled, the output from those options will set the GTID
                      position instead of the binlog file and offset; the
                      file/offset will appear only as a comment. When disabled,
                      the GTID position will still appear in the output, but
                      only commented.
  --header            Used together with --tab. When enabled, adds header with
                      column names to the top of output txt files.
  -?, --help          Display this help message and exit.
  --hex-blob          Dump binary strings (BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB) in
                      hexadecimal format.
  -h, --host=name     Connect to host. Defaults in the following order:
                      $MARIADB_HOST, and then localhost
  --ignore-database=name
                      Do not dump the specified database. To specify more than
                      one database to ignore, use the directive multiple times,
                      once for each database. Only takes effect when used
                      together with --all-databases|-A
  --ignore-table-data=name
                      Do not dump the specified table data. To specify more
                      than one table to ignore, use the directive multiple
                      times, once for each table. Each table must be specified
                      with both database and table names, e.g.,
                      --ignore-table-data=database.table.
  --ignore-table=name Do not dump the specified table. To specify more than one
                      table to ignore, use the directive multiple times, once
                      for each table.  Each table must be specified with both
                      database and table names, e.g.,
                      --ignore-table=database.table.
  --include-master-host-port
                      Adds 'MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>' to 'CHANGE
                      MASTER TO..' in dump produced with --dump-slave.
  --insert-ignore     Insert rows with INSERT IGNORE.
  --lines-terminated-by=name
                      Lines in the output file are terminated by the given
                      string.
  -x, --lock-all-tables
                      Locks all tables across all databases. This is achieved
                      by taking a global read lock for the duration of the
                      whole dump. Automatically turns --single-transaction and
                      --lock-tables off.
  -l, --lock-tables   Lock all tables for read.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-lock-tables to disable.)
  --log-error=name    Append warnings and errors to given file.
  --log-queries       When restoring the dump, the server will, if logging
                      turned on, log the queries to the general and slow query
                      log.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-log-queries to disable.)
  --master-data[=#]   This causes the binary log position and filename to be
                      appended to the output. If equal to 1, will print it as a
                      CHANGE MASTER command; if equal to 2, that command will
                      be prefixed with a comment symbol. This option will turn
                      --lock-all-tables on, unless --single-transaction is
                      specified too (on servers before MariaDB 5.3 this will
                      still take a global read lock for a short time at the
                      beginning of the dump; don't forget to read about
                      --single-transaction below). In all cases, any action on
                      logs will happen at the exact moment of the dump. Option
                      automatically turns --lock-tables off.
  --max-allowed-packet=#
                      The maximum packet length to send to or receive from
                      server.
  --max-statement-time=#
                      Max statement execution time. If unset, overrides server
                      default with 0.
  --net-buffer-length=#
                      The buffer size for TCP/IP and socket communication.
  --no-autocommit     Wrap tables with autocommit/commit statements.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-no-autocommit to disable.)
  -n, --no-create-db  Suppress the CREATE DATABASE ... IF EXISTS statement that
                      normally is output for each dumped database if
                      --all-databases or --databases is given.
  -t, --no-create-info
                      Don't write table creation info.
  -d, --no-data       No row information.
  --no-data-med       No row information for engines that Manage External Data
                      (MRG_MyISAM, MRG_ISAM, CONNECT, OQGRAPH, SPIDER, VP,
                      FEDERATED).
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-no-data-med to disable.)
  -N, --no-set-names  Same as --skip-set-charset.
  --opt               Same as --add-drop-table, --add-locks, --create-options,
                      --quick, --extended-insert, --lock-tables, --set-charset,
                      and --disable-keys. Enabled by default, disable with
                      --skip-opt.
  --order-by-primary  Sorts each table's rows by primary key, or first unique
                      key, if such a key exists.  Useful when dumping a MyISAM
                      table to be loaded into an InnoDB table, but will make
                      the dump itself take considerably longer.
  --order-by-size     Dump tables in the order of their size, smaller first.
                      Useful when using --single-transaction on tables which
                      get truncated often. Dumping smaller tables first reduces
                      chances of often truncated tables to get altered before
                      being dumped.
  -p, --password[=name]
                      Password to use when connecting to server. If password is
                      not given it's solicited on the tty.
  -j, --parallel=#    Number of dump table jobs executed in parallel (only with
                      --tab option)
  -P, --port=#        Port number to use for connection.
  --protocol=name     The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe).
  -q, --quick         Don't buffer query, dump directly to stdout.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-quick to disable.)
  -Q, --quote-names   Quote table and column names with backticks (`).
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-quote-names to disable.)
  --replace           Use REPLACE INTO instead of INSERT INTO.
  -r, --result-file=name
                      Direct output to a given file. This option should be used
                      in systems (e.g., DOS, Windows) that use carriage-return
                      linefeed pairs (\r\n) to separate text lines. This option
                      ensures that only a single newline is used.
  -R, --routines      Dump stored routines (functions and procedures).
  --set-charset       Add 'SET NAMES default_character_set' to the output.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-set-charset to disable.)
  --single-transaction
                      Creates a consistent snapshot by dumping all tables in a
                      single transaction. Works ONLY for tables stored in
                      storage engines which support multiversioning (currently
                      only InnoDB does); the dump is NOT guaranteed to be
                      consistent for other storage engines. While a
                      --single-transaction dump is in process, to ensure a
                      valid dump file (correct table contents and binary log
                      position), no other connection should use the following
                      statements: ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE,
                      TRUNCATE TABLE, as consistent snapshot is not isolated
                      from them. Option automatically turns off --lock-tables.
  --skip-opt          Disable --opt. Disables --add-drop-table, --add-locks,
                      --create-options, --quick, --extended-insert,
                      --lock-tables, --set-charset, and --disable-keys.
  -S, --socket=name   The socket file to use for connection.
  --ssl               Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with
                      other flags).
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-ssl to disable.)
  --ssl-ca=name       CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies
                      --ssl).
  --ssl-capath=name   CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
  --ssl-cert=name     X509 cert in PEM format (implies --ssl).
  --ssl-cipher=name   SSL cipher to use (implies --ssl).
  --ssl-key=name      X509 key in PEM format (implies --ssl).
  --ssl-crl=name      Certificate revocation list (implies --ssl).
  --ssl-crlpath=name  Certificate revocation list path (implies --ssl).
  --tls-version=name  TLS protocol version for secure connection.
  --ssl-fp=name       Server certificate fingerprint (implies --ssl).
  --ssl-fplist=name   File with accepted server certificate fingerprints, one
                      per line (implies --ssl).
  --ssl-verify-server-cert
                      Verify server's certificate to prevent man-in-the-middle
                      attacks
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-ssl-verify-server-cert to disable.)
  --system=name       Dump system tables as portable SQL. Any combination of: all,
                      users, plugins, udfs, servers, stats, timezones, or ALL
                      to set all combinations
