+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+utility enables MariaDB administrators to manage which plugins a MariaDB server loads\&. It provides an alternative to manually specifying the
+\fB\-\-plugin\-load\fR
+option at server startup or using the
+INSTALL PLUGIN
+and
+UNINSTALL PLUGIN
+statements at runtime\&.
+.PP
+Depending on whether
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+is invoked to enable or disable plugins, it inserts or deletes rows in the
+mysql\&.plugin
+table that serves as a plugin registry\&. (To perform this operation,
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+invokes the MariaDB server in bootstrap mode\&. This means that the server must not already be running\&.) For normal server startups, the server loads and enables plugins listed in
+mysql\&.plugin
+automatically\&. For additional control over plugin activation, use
+\fB\-\-\fR\fB\fIplugin_name\fR\fR
+options named for specific plugins\&.
+.PP
+Each invocation of
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+reads a configuration file to determine how to configure the plugins contained in a single plugin library object file\&. To invoke
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR, use this syntax:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+mysql_plugin [\fIoptions\fR] \fIplugin\fR {ENABLE|DISABLE}
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+\fIplugin\fR
+is the name of the plugin to configure\&.
+ENABLE
+or
+DISABLE
+(not case sensitive) specify whether to enable or disable components of the plugin library named in the configuration file\&. The order of the
+\fIplugin\fR
+and
+ENABLE
+or
+DISABLE
+arguments does not matter\&.
+.PP
+For example, to configure components of a plugin library file named
+myplugins\&.so
+on Linux or
+myplugins\&.dll
+on Windows, specify a
+\fIplugin\fR
+value of
+myplugins\&. Suppose that this plugin library contains three plugins,
+plugin1,
+plugin2, and
+plugin3, all of which should be configured under
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+control\&. By convention, configuration files have a suffix of
+\&.ini
+and the same basename as the plugin library, so the default configuration file name for this plugin library is
+myplugins\&.ini\&. The configuration file contents look like this:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+myplugins
+plugin1
+plugin2
+plugin3
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+The first line in the
+myplugins\&.ini
+file is the name of the library object file, without any extension such as
+\&.so
+or
+\&.dll\&. The remaining lines are the names of the components to be enabled or disabled\&. Each value in the file should be on a separate line\&. Lines on which the first character is
+\*(Aq#\*(Aq
+are taken as comments and ignored\&.
+.PP
+To enable the plugins listed in the configuration file, invoke
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+this way:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_plugin myplugins ENABLE\fR
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+To disable the plugins, use
+DISABLE
+rather than
+ENABLE\&.
+.PP
+An error occurs if
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+cannot find the configuration file or plugin library file, or if
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+cannot start the MariaDB server\&.
+.PP
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+supports the following options, which can be specified on the command line or in the
+[mysqld]
+group of any option file\&. For options specified in a
+[mysqld]
+group,
+\fBmysql_plugin\fR
+recognizes the
+\fB\-\-basedir\fR,
+\fB\-\-datadir\fR, and
+\fB\-\-plugin\-dir\fR
+options and ignores others\&.
