What started as an attempt to fix BUG#2270 (Substitute paths in mysql
manpage) turned out as a major overhaul of all man pages:
- renamed all *.1 files to *.1.in to act as templates which are being
processed at build time
- replaced some hard-coded values with place holder that are being
replaced with the proper values at build time
- Updated list of available man pages in the SEE ALSO section and added a
hint to the manual for more details
- Added a BUGS section to all pages, referring to the bugs DB
- Updated some obsolete URLs and mail addresses
The actual content of these man pages should probably be cross-checked for
correctness, though...
man/Makefile.am:

at build time instead. Instead of the *.1 files, we now add the *.1.in
files (the templates) to the source distribution and generate the *.1
files during make.

the same machine as the mysqld daemon.
.TP
.BR \- u | \- \- user=#
User for login if not current user.
.TP
.BR \- v | \- \- verbose
Print info about the various stages.

.TP
.BR \- \- lines\-terminated\-by=...
These options are used with the
.BR -T
option and have the same meaning as the corresponding clauses for LOAD DATA INFILE. See Mysql manual section 7.23 LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax.
.TP
.BR \- v | \- \- verbose
Verbose mode. Print out more information on what the program does.
.TP
.BR \- V | \- \- version
Print version information and exit.
.TP
.BR "\-O net_buffer_length=#, where # < 16M "
When creating multi-row-insert statements (as with option
.BR --extended-insert
or
.BR --opt
), mysqldump will create rows up to net_buffer_length length. If you increase this variable, you should also ensure that the max_allowed_packet variable in the MySQL server is bigger than the net_buffer_length.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
The most normal use of mysqldump is probably for making a backup of whole databases. See Mysql Manual section 21.2 Database Backups.
.TP
mysqldump \- \- opt \fP \fI database\fP > backup-file.sql
.TP
You can read this back into MySQL with:
.TP
.BR mysql
\fP \fI database\fP
.BR <
backup-file.sql
.TP
or
.TP
.BR mysql
\- e 'source /patch\- to\- backup/backup\- file.sql' database
.TP
However, it's also very useful to populate another MySQL server with information from a database:
.TP
mysqldump \- \- opt \fP \fI database\fP | mysql \- \- host=\fP \fI remote\- host\fP \- C database
.TP
It is possible to dump several databases with one command:
.TP
mysqldump \- \- databases database1 [ database2 database3... ] > my_databases.sql
.TP
If all the databases are wanted, one can use:
.TP
mysqldump \fP \fI \- \- all\- databases\fP > all_databases.sql
