• set [ options ] 

Write a login path to the login path file. 

This command writes to the login path only such options as are specified with the --host , --password , --port , --socket , and --user  options. If none of those options are given, mysql_config_editor  writes the login path as an empty group. 

The set  command permits these options following the command name:
