Bug #2363	Documentation says to use an option that doesn't exist for client charset

Category:	MySQL Server: Documentation	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.0	OS:	Linux (Linux)
Assigned to:	Paul DuBois	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The page http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Charset-connection.html says at the bottom to use the option --default-character-set-name while in reality the name of the option is --default-character-set.  Notice that there is no -name on it.

How to repeat:
Try to run the client with the above option from the documentation and you get:

[harry@corona harry]$ mysql
mysql: ERROR: unknown variable 'default-character-set-name=utf8'

Suggested fix:
Change the documentation to talk about the correct option, --default-character-set.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant
product(s).
