• --ssl-fips-mode={OFF|ON|STRICT} 

Controls whether to enable FIPS mode on the client side. The --ssl-fips-mode  option differs from other --ssl- xxx  options in that it is not used to establish encrypted connections, but rather to affect which cryptographic operations to permit. See Section 6.8, “FIPS Support” . 

These --ssl-fips-mode  values are permitted: 

• OFF : Disable FIPS mode. 

• ON : Enable FIPS mode. 

• STRICT : Enable “strict”  FIPS mode.

• --start-datetime= datetime

## Note 

If the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module is not available, the only permitted value for --ssl-fips-mode  is OFF . In this case, setting --ssl-fips-mode  to ON  or STRICT  causes the client to produce a warning at startup and to operate in non- FIPS mode. 

Start reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp equal to or later than the datetime argument. The datetime  value is relative to the local time zone on the machine where you run mysqlbinlog . The value should be in a format accepted for the DATETIME  or TIMESTAMP  data types. For example: 

mysqlbinlog --start-datetime="2005-12-25 11:25:56" binlog.000003 

This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.5, “Point-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery” . 

• --start-position= N , -j N 

Start decoding the binary log at the log position N , including in the output any events that begin at position N  or after. The position is a byte point in the log file, not an event counter; it needs to point to the starting position of an event to generate useful output. This option applies to the first log file named on the command line. 

This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.5, “Point-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery” . 

• --stop-datetime= datetime 

Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp equal to or later than the datetime argument. See the description of the --start-datetime  option for information about the datetime value. 

This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.5, “Point-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery” . 

• --stop-never 

This option is used with --read-from-remote-server . It tells mysqlbinlog  to remain connected to the server. Otherwise mysqlbinlog  exits when the last log file has been transferred from the server. --stop-never  implies --to-last-log , so only the first log file to transfer need be named on the command line. 

--stop-never  is commonly used with --raw  to make a live binary log backup, but also can be used without --raw  to maintain a continuous text display of log events as the server generates them.
