## Note 

This must be the first option on the command line if it is used, except that if the server is started with the --defaults-file  and --install  (or --install- manual ) options, --install  (or --install-manual ) must be first. 

For additional information about this and other option-file options, see Section 4.2.2.3, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling” . 

• --defaults-group-suffix= str 

Read not only the usual option groups, but also groups with the usual names and a suffix of str . For example, mysqld  normally reads the [mysqld]  group. If this option is given as --defaults-group- suffix=_other , mysqld  also reads the [mysqld_other]  group. 

For additional information about this and other option-file options, see Section 4.2.2.3, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling” .

The option value is a semicolon-separated list of plugin_library  and name = plugin_library values. Each plugin_library  is the name of a library file that contains plugin code, and each name is the name of a plugin to load. If a plugin library is named without any preceding plugin name, the server loads all plugins in the library. With a preceding plugin name, the server loads only the named
