/usr/bin/mariadb-import from 11.8.9-MariaDB, client 3.7 for Linux (x86_64)
Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

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/mariadb-import [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.

  --character-sets-dir=name

  --database=name     Restore the specified database, ignoring others.To
                      specify more than one database to include, use the

  -C, --compress      Use compression in server/client protocol.
  -#, --debug[=name]  Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o,filename'.

  -d, --delete        First delete all rows from table.
  --fields-terminated-by=name
                      Fields in the input file are terminated by the given

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

                      $MARIADB_HOST, and then localhost
  -i, --ignore        If duplicate unique key was found, keep old row.

                      than one database to ignore, use the directive multiple
                      times, once for each database. Only takes effect when
                      used together with --dir option
  --ignore-table=name Do not restore 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.  Only takes effect when
