.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBmariadb-setpermission\fR
is a Perl script that was originally written and contributed by Luuk de Boer\&. It interactively sets permissions in the MariaDB grant tables\&.
\fBmariadb-setpermission\fR
is written in Perl and requires that the
DBI
and
DBD::MariaDB
Perl modules be installed\&.
.PP
Invoke
\fBmariadb-setpermission\fR
like this:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmariadb-setpermission [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
\fIoptions\fR
should be either
\fB\-\-help\fR
to display the help message, or options that indicate how to connect to the MariaDB server\&. The account used when you connect determines which permissions you have when attempting to modify existing permissions in the grant tables\&.
.PP
\fBmariadb-setpermission\fR
also reads options from the
[client]
and
[perl]
groups in the
\&.my\&.cnf
file in your home directory, if the file exists\&.
.PP
\fBmariadb-setpermission\fR
supports the following options:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
.\" mariadb-setpermission: help option
.\" help option: mariadb-setpermission
