+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+is the recommended way to start a
+\fBmysqld\fR
+server on Unix\&.
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+adds some safety features such as restarting the server when an error occurs and logging runtime information to an error log file\&. Descriptions of error logging is given later in this section\&.
+.sp
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+tries to start an executable named
+\fBmysqld\fR\&. To override the default behavior and specify explicitly the name of the server you want to run, specify a
+\fB\-\-mysqld\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-mysqld\-version\fR
+option to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR\&. You can also use
+\fB\-\-ledir\fR
+to indicate the directory where
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+should look for the server\&.
+.PP
+Many of the options to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+are the same as the options to
+\fBmysqld\fR\&.
+.PP
+Options unknown to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+are passed to
+\fBmysqld\fR
+if they are specified on the command line, but ignored if they are specified in the
+[mysqld_safe] or [mariadb_safe]
+groups of an option file\&.
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+reads all options from the
+[mysqld],
+[server],
+[mysqld_safe], and [mariadb_safe]
+sections in option files\&. For example, if you specify a
+[mysqld]
+section like this,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+will find and use the
+\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
+option:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+[mysqld]
+log\-error=error\&.log
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+For backward compatibility,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+also reads
+[safe_mysqld]
+sections, although you should rename such sections to
+[mysqld_safe]
+in current installations\&.
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+supports the options in the following list\&. It also reads option files and supports the options for processing them.
