Category:	MySQL Server: Replication	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	3.23	OS:	Any (all)
Assigned to:	Guilhem Bichot	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
[guilhem@gbichot2 client]$ ./mysqlbinlog -p
./mysqlbinlog: option '-p' requires an argument
Whereas other clients (mysqldump etc) behave like this:
[guilhem@gbichot2 client]$ ./mysqldump -p db
Enter password:

How to repeat:
see description

Suggested fix:
will fix this. This should be fixed starting from MySQL 3.23 if possible.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information

ChangeSet@1.1422, 2003-10-20 15:35:03+02:00, guilhem@mysql.com
Now mysqlbinlog prompts for the password if
  mysqlbinlog -p
instead of printing the usage().
This makes mysqlbinlog behave like other clients, which is the reason
why we fix this in 3.23.
Note that before, one could use
  mysqlbinlog -p pass
and now one must use
  mysqlbinlog -ppass
(putting a space will ask for the password), like for other clients
(for example: mysqldump, mysqladmin).
