MySQL utility for dumping data from databases to external file.
Usage: mysqlpump [OPTIONS] [--all-databases]
OR     mysqlpump [OPTIONS] --databases DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR     mysqlpump [OPTIONS] database [tables]

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
The following groups are read: client mysql_dump mysqlpump
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,
                        except for login file.
--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=#
                        Also read groups with concat(group, suffix)
--login-path=#          Read this path from the login file.
  -?, --help          Display this help message and exit.
  --add-drop-database Add a DROP DATABASE before each CREATE DATABASE.
  --add-drop-table    Add a DROP TABLE before each CREATE TABLE.
  --add-drop-user     Add a DROP USER before each CREATE USER.
  --add-locks         Wrap data inserts on table with write lock on that table
                      in output. This doesn't work with parallelism.
  -A, --all-databases Dump all databases. This is default behaviour if no
                      positional options are specified. Specifying this option
                      is mutually exclusive with --databases.
  --bind-address=name IP address to bind to.
  --character-sets-dir=name
                      Directory for character set files.
  --column-statistics Add an ANALYZE TABLE statement to regenerate any existing
                      column statistics.
  --complete-insert   Use complete insert statements, include column names.
  -C, --compress      Use compression in server/client protocol.
  --compress-output=name
                      Compresses all output files with LZ4 or ZLIB compression
                      algorithm.
  --compression-algorithms=name
                      Use compression algorithm in server/client protocol.
                      Valid values are any combination of
                      'zstd','zlib','uncompressed'
  -B, --databases     Dump selected databases, specified in positional options.
                      Specifying this option is mutually exclusive with
                      --all-databases.
  -#, --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.
  --default-character-set=name
                      Set the default character set.
  --default-parallelism=#

                      queue for values N > 0. if N is 0 then no queue will be
                      used. Default value is 2. If N > 1 then objects in dump
                      file can have lines intersected. Usage of values greater
                      than 1 is mutually exclusive with --single-transaction.
  --default-auth=name Default authentication client-side plugin to use.
  --defer-table-indexes

                      tables in specified schemas using separate queue handled
                      by --default-parallelism threads or N threads, if N is

  --protocol=name     The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe,
                      memory).
  --replace           Use REPLACE INTO for dumped rows instead of INSERT INTO.
  --result-file=name  Direct all output generated for all objects to a given
                      file.
  --routines          Dump stored procedures and functions.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-routines to disable.)
  --server-public-key-path=name
                      Path to file containing server public key
  --set-charset       Add 'SET NAMES default_character_set' to the output to
                      keep charsets consistent.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-set-charset to disable.)
  --set-gtid-purged=name
                      Add 'SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED' to the output. Possible
                      values for this option are ON, OFF and AUTO. If ON is
                      used and GTIDs are not enabled on the server, an error is
                      generated. If OFF is used, this option does nothing. If
                      AUTO is used and GTIDs are enabled on the server, 'SET
                      @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED' is added to the output. If GTIDs
                      are disabled, AUTO does nothing. If no value is supplied
                      then the default (AUTO) value will be considered.
  --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. This option is mutually exclusive with
                      --add-locks option.

                      Stored Routines.
  -d, --skip-dump-rows

  --skip-generated-invisible-primary-key
                      Controls whether generated primary key and key column
                      should be dumped or not.
  -S, --socket=name   The socket file to use for connection.
  --ssl-ca=name       CA file in PEM format.
  --ssl-capath=name   CA directory.

  --ssl-mode=name     SSL connection mode.
  --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-ciphersuites=name
                      TLS v1.3 cipher to use.
  --tls-version=name  TLS version to use.
  --triggers          Dump triggers.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-triggers to disable.)
  --tz-utc            SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00' at top of dump to allow dumping of
                      TIMESTAMP data when a server has data in different time
                      zones or data is being moved between servers with
                      different time zones.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-tz-utc to disable.)
  -u, --user=name     User for login if not current user.
  --users             Dump users with their privileges in GRANT format.
                      Disabled by default.
  -V, --version       Output version information and exit.
  --watch-progress    Shows periodically dump process progress information on
                      error output. Progress information include both completed
                      and total number of tables, rows and other objects
                      collected.
                      (Defaults to on; use --skip-watch-progress to disable.)
  --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.
