mysql:database:connect:via-socket
Connect to a database through a Unix socket.
$ mysql --socket ${path/to/socket-sock}
try on your machine
This command initiates the MySQL client program and connects it to a MySQL server using the provided socket file. The specific socket file to be used is specified by the path/to/socket-sock parameter, which should be replaced with the actual path to the socket file on the local system. The --socket option tells the MySQL client to use the specified socket file for communication with the server, rather than the default TCP/IP networking protocol. Once the command is executed successfully, the user will be prompted to enter their MySQL username and password, and will then be connected to the MySQL server using the specified socket file.
