For sha256_password , this option applies only if MySQL was built using OpenSSL. 

For information about the sha256_password  and caching_sha2_password  plugins, see Section 6.4.1.3, “SHA-256 Pluggable Authentication” , and Section 6.4.1.2, “Caching SHA-2 Pluggable Authentication” . 

• --shared-memory-base-name= name 

On Windows, the shared-memory name to use for connections made using shared memory to a local server. The default value is MYSQL . The shared-memory name is case-sensitive. 

This option applies only if the server was started with the shared_memory  system variable enabled to support shared-memory connections. 

• --show-warnings

• --silent , -s 

Exit silently if a connection to the server cannot be established. 

• --sleep= delay , -i delay

• --socket= path , -S path 

For connections to localhost , the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of the named pipe to use. 

On Windows, this option applies only if the server was started with the named_pipe  system variable enabled to support named-pipe connections. In addition, the user making the connection must be a member of the Windows group specified by the named_pipe_full_access_group  system variable. 

• --ssl* 

Options that begin with --ssl  specify whether to connect to the server using encryption and indicate where to find SSL keys and certificates. See Command Options for Encrypted Connections. 

• --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.
