from the mydump help screen:
$ mysqldump --help
mysqldump Ver 10.10 Distrib 5.0.22, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64)
...
with all databases selected.
--add-drop-database Add a 'DROP DATABASE' before each create.
--add-drop-table Add a 'drop table' before each create.
...
--create-options Include all MySQL specific create options.
-B, --databases To dump several databases. Note the difference in usage;
In this case no tables are given. All name arguments are
regarded as databasenames. 'USE db_name;' will be
included in the output.
