The short version of --password is also in the wrong section. It is in the --compress section

The short version of --version (-V) is also in the wrong section. It is in the --debug section.

The short version of --replace (-r) is missing from the option table but present in the description that comes later.

The man page doesn't include the option table. What version of MySQL is this from?

Thanks for the feedback, that explains it. The version you have includes man pages preceding a change we made to strip out those tables. The current Community version (5.0.67) has man pages that do not exhibit the problem you report. You can also access current man pages from our documentation page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/
Description: `man mysqlimport` includes the short version of --columns (-c) in the --host section instead of the --columns section How to repeat: Read the man page for mysqlimport. This will be seen, +---------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+------------+ |--host=host_name | host | | | +---------------------------------------+-------------------------------+ Connect to the MySQL server +------------+ |-h host_name | | on the given host | | +---------------------------------------+-------------------------------+ +------------+ |-c columns_list | | | | +---------------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+------------+ Suggested fix: Move the short version of --columns into the --columns section
