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:

	 --help, -?

	  Display a help message and exit.

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

	  Read only the given option file.

	 --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.

	 --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.

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

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

	 --no-defaults, -n

	  Return an empty string.

	 --verbose, -v

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

	 --version, -V

	  Display version information and exit.
