+.SS Name

+mysql_change_user \- changes user and default database
+.SS Synopsis
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#include <mysql.h>
+
+my_bool mysql_change_user(MYSQL * mysql,
+ const char * user,
+ const char * passwd,
+ const char * db);
+\f[R]
+.fi
+.SS Description
+.PP
+Changes the user and default database of the current connection.
+.PP
+In order to successfully change users a valid username and password
+parameters must be provided and that user must have sufficient
+permissions to access the desired database.
+If for any reason authorization fails, the current user authentication
+will remain.
+.SS Parameters
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[C]mysql\f[R] is a connection identifier, which was previously
+allocated by \f[B]mysql_init(3)\f[R] and connected by
+\f[B]mysql_real_connect(3)\f[R].
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[C]user\f[R] \- the user name for server authentication
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[C]passwd\f[R] \- the password for server authentication
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[C]db\f[R] \- the default database.
+If desired, the NULL value may be passed resulting in only changing the
+user and not selecting a database.
+To select a database in this case use the \f[B]mysql_select_db(3)\f[R]
+function.
+.SS Notes
+.IP \[bu] 2
+mysql_change_user will always cause the current database connection to
+behave as if was a completely new database connection, regardless of if
+the operation was completed successfully.
+This reset includes performing a rollback on any active transactions,
+closing all temporary tables, and unlocking all locked tables.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+To prevent denial of service and brute\-force attacks the server will
+block the connection if \f[C]mysql_change_user()\f[R] failed three times
+in a row
+.SS Return value
+.PP
+Returns zero on success, nonzero if an error occurred.
