+.PP
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+is a diagnostic program designed to emulate client load for a MariaDB server and to report the timing of each stage\&. It works as if multiple clients are accessing the server\&.

+.PP
+Some options such as
+\fB\-\-create\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-query\fR
+enable you to specify a string containing an SQL statement or a file containing statements\&. If you specify a file, by default it must contain one statement per line\&. (That is, the implicit statement delimiter is the newline character\&.) Use the
+\fB\-\-delimiter\fR
+option to specify a different delimiter, which enables you to specify statements that span multiple lines or place multiple statements on a single line\&. You cannot include comments in a file;
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+does not understand them\&.
