Description:
The documentation of server variables at:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html
states:

one_shot

This is not a variable, but it can be used when setting some variables. It is described in Section 5.1.4, “Session System Variables”. 

And links to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/server-session-variables.html but there is no reference on that page to describe what one_shot is.

How to repeat:
go to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html, search for "one_shot", look at the description, click through to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/server-session-variables.html, try to find what it means.

Suggested fix:
document it somewhere.

Thank you for a reasonable documentation request.

This is a problem of a bad cross reference. ONE_SHOT is described here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/set-option.html

I'll make the necessary changes.

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 products.
