       mysql_client_test_embedded - test client API for embedded server

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_client_test [options] [test_name] ...

       mysql_client_test_embedded [options] [test_name] ...

DESCRIPTION
       The mysql_client_test program is used for testing aspects of the MySQL
       client API that cannot be tested using mysqltest and its test language.
       mysql_client_test_embedded is similar but used for testing the embedded
       server. Both programs are run as part of the test suite.

       The source code for the programs can be found in in
       test/mysql_client_test.c in a source distribution. The program serves
       as a good source of examples illustrating how to use various features
       of the client API.

       mysql_client_test supports the following options:

       o  --help, -?

          Display a help message and exit.
