Program Option Modifiers

Some options are “boolean” and control behavior that can be turned on or off. For example, the mysql

Client supports a —column-names [260] option that determines whether or not to display a row of

column names at the beginning of query results. By default, this option is enabled. However, you may

want to disable it in some instances, such as when sending the output of mysql into another program

that expects to see only data and not an initial header linę.

To disable column names, you can specify the option using any of these forms:

—disable-column-names —skip-column-names —column-names=0

The —disable and - -skip prefixes and the 0 suffix all have the

same effect: They turn the option

off.
