Package: sysbench
Version: 0.4.12-1
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer,

I have just installed sysbench on a debian stable. Reading the manual
I can see an example.

It seems some options used in the example are not valid anymore:

$ sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-table-type=myisam --oltp-table-size=1000000 
--mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock prepare
Unknown option: --mysql-table-type.
Usage:
  sysbench [general-options]... --test=<test-name> [test-options]... command

My guess is that --mysql-table-type should be replaced by --mysql-table-engine. 
Yet even after this,
the example still does not work:

$ sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-table-engine=myisam --oltp-table-size=1000000 
--mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock prepare
sysbench 0.4.12:  multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark

No DB drivers specified, using mysql
FATAL: unable to connect to MySQL server, aborting...
FATAL: error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
FATAL: failed to connect to database server!

I am a complete novice at sysbench so I can't provide more useful
information but yet I think a little rewrite of this part of the
manual could greatly help using this program.

Best regards,
