Package: mysql-server-core-8.0
Version: 8.0.21-1
mysqld(8) does not describe any of the options taken by mysqld command.
It merely mentions:
The mysqld program has many options that can be specified at
startup. For a complete list of options, run this command:
shell> mysqld --verbose --help
And indeed, the runtime help is more informative:
% mysqld --verbose --help | wc -l
2638
Why not simply take the --verbose --help message and use it inside the
manpage? That would improve the situation without requiring much effort.
