SYNOPSIS
    mysqld_multi [--config-file=...]  [--example] [--help]  [--log=...]
    [--mysqladmin=...]   [--mysqld=...]  [--no-log]  [--password=...]
    [--tcp-ip] [--user=...] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
    mysqld_multi

    --config-file=...
    Alternative config file. NOTE: This will not affect this pro-
    gram's own options (group [mysqld_multi]), but only groups
    [mysqld#]. Without this option everything will be searched from
    the ordinary my.cnf file.

    --example
    Give an example of a config file.

    --help Print this help and exit.

    --log=...
    Log file. Full path to and the name for the log file. NOTE: If
    the file exists, everything will be appended.

    --mysqladmin=...
    mysqladmin binary to be used for a server shutdown.

    --mysqld=...
    mysqld binary to be used. Note that you can give safe_mysqld to
    this option also. The options are passed to mysqld. Just make
    sure you have mysqld in your environment variable  PATH or fix
    safe_mysqld.

    --no-log
    Print to stdout instead of the log file. By default the log file
    is turned on.

    --password=...
    Password for user for mysqladmin.

    --tcp-ip
    Connect to the MySQL server(s) via the TCP/IP port instead of
    the UNIX  socket. This affects  stopping and reporting. If a
    socket file is missing, the server may still be running, but can
    be accessed only via the TCP/IP port. By default connecting is
    done via the UNIX socket.

    --user=...
    MySQL user for mysqladmin.

    --version
    Print the version number and exit.

NOTE
    Please see the mysql manual for more detailed information on this.
