The command mysqlbinlog
is used to analyze and display the contents of binary log files in MySQL. The binary log files contain a record of all changes made to a MySQL database, such as insertions, updates, and deletions, in a binary format.
Let's break down the command:
mysqlbinlog
: This is the actual command being executed.--host=${hostname}
: This option specifies the host name or IP address of the MySQL server that produced the binary log files. The${hostname}
placeholder should be replaced with the actual hostname or IP address.${path-to-binlog}
: This is the path to the binary log file that you want to analyze. It should be replaced with the actual file path.
By running this command, you will be able to parse and view the contents of the specified binary log file, allowing you to see the sequence of database operations that were performed.
