.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBmysql_client_test\fR
program is used for testing aspects of the MySQL client API that cannot be tested using
\fBmysqltest\fR
and its test language.
\fBmysql_client_test_embedded\fR
is similar but used for testing the embedded server. Both programs are run as part of the test suite.
.PP
The source code for the programs can be found in in
\fItest/mysql_client_test.c\fR
in a source distribution. The program serves as a good source of examples illustrating how to use various features of the client API.
.PP
