 Option used by mysql-test for debugging and testing of
 replication.

 events in the binary log. Possible values are NONE and
 CRC32; default is CRC32.
 --binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates 
 Causes updates to non-transactional engines using
 statement format to be written directly to binary log.
 Before using this option make sure that there are no
 dependencies between transactional and non-transactional
 tables such as in the statement INSERT INTO t_myisam
 SELECT * FROM t_innodb; otherwise, slaves may diverge
 from the master.
 --binlog-do-db=name Tells the master it should log updates for the specified
 database, and exclude all others not explicitly
 mentioned.
 --binlog-format=name 
 What form of binary logging the master will use: either
 ROW for row-based binary logging, STATEMENT for
 statement-based binary logging, or MIXED. MIXED is
 statement-based binary logging except for those
 statements where only row-based is correct: those which
 involve user-defined functions (i.e. UDFs) or the UUID()
 function; for those, row-based binary logging is
 automatically used. If NDBCLUSTER is enabled and
 binlog-format is MIXED, the format switches to row-based
 and back implicitly per each query accessing an
 NDBCLUSTER table

 bytes. Rows will be grouped into events smaller than this
 size if possible. The value has to be a multiple of 256.
 --binlog-row-image=name 
 Controls whether rows should be logged in 'FULL',
 'NOBLOB' or 'MINIMAL' formats. 'FULL', means that all
 columns in the before and after image are logged.
 'NOBLOB', means that mysqld avoids logging blob columns
 whenever possible (eg, blob column was not changed or is
 not part of primary key). 'MINIMAL', means that a PK
 equivalent (PK columns or full row if there is no PK in
 the table) is logged in the before image, and only
 changed columns are logged in the after image. (Default:
 FULL).
 --binlog-rows-query-log-events 
 Allow writing of Rows_query_log events into binary log.
 --binlog-stmt-cache-size=#

 tables, and CREATE TABLE ... SELECT.

 exception for replication (slave) threads and users with
 the SUPER privilege
 --read-rnd-buffer-size=#

 re-fetching from the master right after the last
 transaction processed

 --replicate-do-db=name 
 Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
 specified database. To specify more than one database,
 use the directive multiple times, once for each database.
 Note that this will only work if you do not use
 cross-database queries such as UPDATE some_db.some_table
 SET foo='bar' while having selected a different or no
 database. If you need cross database updates to work,
 make sure you have 3.23.28 or later, and use
 replicate-wild-do-table=db_name.%.
 --replicate-do-table=name 
 Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
 specified table. To specify more than one table, use the
 directive multiple times, once for each table. This will
 work for cross-database updates, in contrast to
 replicate-do-db.
 --replicate-ignore-db=name 
 Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the specified
 database. To specify more than one database to ignore,
 use the directive multiple times, once for each database.
 This option will not work if you use cross database
 updates. If you need cross database updates to work, make
 sure you have 3.23.28 or later, and use
 replicate-wild-ignore-table=db_name.%. 
 --replicate-ignore-table=name 
 Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the specified
 table. To specify more than one table to ignore, use the
 directive multiple times, once for each table. This will
 work for cross-database updates, in contrast to
 replicate-ignore-db.

 original. Example:
 replicate-rewrite-db=master_db_name->slave_db_name.
 --replicate-same-server-id

 our server id. Default value is 0 (to break infinite
 loops in circular replication). Can't be set to 1 if
 --log-slave-updates is used.
 --replicate-wild-do-table=name 
 Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
 tables that match the specified wildcard pattern. To
 specify more than one table, use the directive multiple
 times, once for each table. This will work for
 cross-database updates. Example:
 replicate-wild-do-table=foo%.bar% will replicate only
 updates to tables in all databases that start with foo
 and whose table names start with bar.
 --replicate-wild-ignore-table=name 
 Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the tables
 that match the given wildcard pattern. To specify more
 than one table to ignore, use the directive multiple
 times, once for each table. This will work for
 cross-database updates. Example:
 replicate-wild-ignore-table=foo%.bar% will not do updates
 to tables in databases that start with foo and whose
 table names start with bar.
 --report-host=name  Hostname or IP of the slave to be reported to the master
 during slave registration. Will appear in the output of
 SHOW SLAVE HOSTS. Leave unset if you do not want the
 slave to register itself with the master. Note that it is

 the slave off the socket once the slave connects. Due to
 NAT and other routing issues, that IP may not be valid
 for connecting to the slave from the master or other
 hosts
 --report-password=name 
 The account password of the slave to be reported to the
 master during slave registration
 --report-port=#     Port for connecting to slave reported to the master

 Set of searching algorithms that the slave will use while
 searching for records from the storage engine to either
 updated or deleted them. Possible values are: INDEX_SCAN,
 TABLE_SCAN and HASH_SCAN. Any combination is allowed, and

 Tells the slave thread to continue replication when a
 query event returns an error from the provided list
 --slave-sql-verify-checksum 
 Force checksum verification of replication events after
 reading them from relay log. Note: Events are always

 network before writing them to the relay log. Enabled by
 default.
 (Defaults to on; use --skip-slave-sql-verify-checksum to disable.)
 --slave-transaction-retries=# 
 Number of times the slave SQL thread will retry a
 transaction in case it failed with a deadlock or elapsed
 lock wait timeout, before giving up and stopping
 --slave-type-conversions=name 
 Set of slave type conversions that are enabled. Legal
 values are: ALL_LOSSY to enable lossy conversions,
 ALL_NON_LOSSY to enable non-lossy conversions,
 ALL_UNSIGNED to treat all integer column type data to be
 unsigned values, and ALL_SIGNED to treat all integer
 column type data to be signed values. Default treatment
 is ALL_SIGNED. If ALL_SIGNED and ALL_UNSIGNED both are
 specifed, ALL_SIGNED will take high priority than
 ALL_UNSIGNED. If the variable is assigned the empty set,
 no conversions are allowed and it is expected that the
 types match exactly.

 seconds), the Slow_launch_threads counter will be
