NAME
       my_print_defaults - display options from option files

SYNOPSIS
       my_print_defaults [options] option_group ...

DESCRIPTION
       my_print_defaults displays the options that are present in
       option groups of option files. The output indicates what
       options will be used by programs that read the specified
       option groups. For example, the mysqlcheck program reads
       the [mysqlcheck] and [client] option groups. To see what
       options are present in those groups in the standard option
       files, invoke my_print_defaults like this:

          shell> my_print_defaults mysqlcheck client
          --user=myusername
          --password=secret
          --host=localhost

       The output consists of options, one per line, in the form
       that they would be specified on the command line.

       my_print_defaults understands the following options:

       o  --help, -?

          Display a help message and exit.

       o  --config-file=file_name, --defaults-file=file_name, -c
          file_name

          Read only the given option file.

       o  --debug=debug_options, -# debug_options

          Write a debugging log. The debug_options string often
          is 'd:t:o,file_name'. The default is
          'd:t:o,/tmp/my_print_defaults.trace'.

       o  --defaults-extra-file=file_name,
          --extra-file=file_name, -e file_name

          Read this option file after the global option file but
          (on Unix) before the user option file.

       o  --defaults-group-suffix=suffix, -g suffix

          In addition to the groups named on the command line,
          read groups that have the given suffix.

       o  --no-defaults, -n

          Return an empty string.

       o  --verbose, -v

          Verbose mode. Print more information about what the
          program does.

       o  --version, -V

          Display version information and exit.
