Usage: $0 [OPTIONS]
–basedir=path The path to the MySQL installation directory.
–datadir=path The path to the MySQL data directory.
–force Causes mysql_install_db to run even if DNS does not
work. In that case, grant table entries that normally
use hostnames will use IP addresses.
–ldata=path The path to the MySQL data directory.
–rpm For internal use. This option is used by RPM files
during the MySQL installation process.
–skip-name-resolve Use IP addresses rather than hostnames when creating
grant table entries. This option can be useful if
your DNS does not work.
–srcdir=path For internal use. The directory under which
mysql_install_db looks for support files such as the
error message file and the file for popoulating the
help tables.
–user=user_name The login username to use for running mysqld. Files
and directories created by mysqld will be owned by this
user. You must be root to use this option. By default
mysqld runs using your current login name and files and
directories that it creates will be owned by you.
–windows For internal use. This option is used for creating
Windows distributions.
All other options are passed to the mysqld program

Ok, let’s go. We first need to parse arguments which are required by
my_print_defaults so that we can execute it first, then later re-parse
the command line to add any extra bits that we need.

We can now find my_print_defaults, either in the supplied --basedir
location or in the installed area.

Now we can get arguments from the groups [mysqld] and [mysql_install_db]
in the my.cfg file, then re-run to merge with command line arguments.
