Thanks for the response but I already knew about that page. The problem is
with a client application it doesn't know anything about how the server is
configured and it doesn't matter.
Basically it's a case of doing
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
my_init();
load_defaults();
handle_options();
}
So you need to be able to tell load_defaults where to locate the .my.cnf
file so it can go and load the defaults.
