27.7.12.2 mysql_server_init()
int mysql_server_init(int argc, char **argv, char **groups)
This function initializes the MySQL client library, which must be done before you call any other MySQL function. However, mysql_server_init()
is deprecated and you should call mysql_library_init()
instead. See Section 27.7.6.41, “mysql_library_init()”.
Note
To avoid memory leaks after the application is done using the library (for example, after closing the connection to the server), be sure to call mysql_server_end()
(or mysql_library_end()
) explicitly. This enables memory managment to be performed to clean up and free resources used by the library. See Section 27.7.6.40, “mysql_library_end()”.
