Usage: /usr/bin/mysqladmin [OPTIONS] command command.... --bind-address=name IP address to bind to. -c, --count=# Number of iterations to make. This works with -i (--sleep) only. -#, --debug[=#] This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit. --debug-check This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit. --debug-info This is a non-debug version. Catch this and exit. -f, --force Don't ask for confirmation on drop database; with multiple commands, continue even if an error occurs. -C, --compress Use compression in server/client protocol. --character-sets-dir=name Directory for character set files. --default-character-set=name Set the default character set. -?, --help Display this help and exit. -h, --host=name Connect to host. -b, --no-beep Turn off beep on error. -p, --password[=name] Password to use when connecting to server. If password is not given it's asked from the tty. -,, --password1[=name] Password for first factor authentication plugin. -,, --password2[=name] Password for second factor authentication plugin. -,, --password3[=name] Password for third factor authentication plugin. -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, --relative Show difference between current and previous values when used with -i. Currently only works with extended-status. -s, --silent Silently exit if one can't connect to server. -S, --socket=name The socket file to use for connection. -i, --sleep=# Execute commands repeatedly with a sleep between. --ssl-mode=name SSL connection mode. --ssl-ca=name CA file in PEM format. --ssl-capath=name CA directory. --ssl-cert=name X509 cert in PEM format. --ssl-cipher=name SSL cipher to use. --ssl-key=name X509 key in PEM format. --ssl-crl=name Certificate revocation list. --ssl-crlpath=name Certificate revocation list path. --tls-version=name TLS version to use, permitted values are: TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3 --ssl-fips-mode=name SSL FIPS mode (applies only for OpenSSL); permitted values are: OFF, ON, STRICT --tls-ciphersuites=name TLS v1.3 cipher to use. --ssl-session-data=name Session data file to use to enable ssl session reuse --ssl-session-data-continue-on-failed-reuse If set to ON, this option will allow connection to succeed even if session data cannot be reused. --tls-sni-servername=name The SNI server name to pass to server --server-public-key-path=name File path to the server public RSA key in PEM format. --get-server-public-key Get server public key -u, --user=name User for login if not current user. -v, --verbose Write more information. -V, --version Output version information and exit. -E, --vertical Print output vertically. Is similar to --relative, but prints output vertically. -w, --wait[=#] Wait and retry if connection is down. --connect-timeout=# --shutdown-timeout=# --plugin-dir=name Directory for client-side plugins. --default-auth=name Default authentication client-side plugin to use. --enable-cleartext-plugin Enable/disable the clear text authentication plugin. --show-warnings Show warnings after execution --compression-algorithms=name Use compression algorithm in server/client protocol. Valid values are any combination of 'zstd','zlib','uncompressed'. --zstd-compression-level=# Use this compression level in the client/server protocol, in case --compression-algorithms=zstd. Valid range is between 1 and 22, inclusive. Default is 3.
