5.4.80 mysql_shutdown()

intmysql_shutdown(MYSQL *mysql,               enum mysql_enum_shutdown_level shutdown_level)

Description

Note

mysql_shutdown() is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of MySQL. Instead, usemysql_real_query() ormysql_query() to execute aSHUTDOWN statement.

Asks the database server to shut down. The connected user must have theSHUTDOWN privilege. MySQL servers support only one type of shutdown;shutdown_level must be equal toSHUTDOWN_DEFAULT. Dynamically linked executables that have been compiled with older versions of thelibmysqlclient headers and callmysql_shutdown() must be used with the oldlibmysqlclient dynamic library.

An alternative tomysql_shutdown() is to use theSHUTDOWN SQL statement.

The shutdown process is described inThe Server Shutdown Process.
