Self-approving, due to trivial nature of the patch. 'UNSPEC' will remain unmentioned -- it's just a placeholder value.

Description: In mysqlbinlog.cc can be found the following: const char *base64_output_mode_names[]= {"NEVER", "AUTO", "ALWAYS", "UNSPEC", "DECODE-ROWS", NullS}; TYPELIB base64_output_mode_typelib= { array_elements(base64_output_mode_names) - 1, "", base64_output_mode_names, NULL }; However, no mention of DECODE-ROWS or UNSPEC is made in the help output: Usage: ./mysqlbinlog [options] log-files -?, --help Display this help and exit. --base64-output[=name] Determine when the output statements should be base64-encoded BINLOG statements: 'never' disables it and works only for binlogs without row-based events; 'auto' is the default and prints base64 only when necessary (i.e., for row-based events and format description events); 'always' prints base64 whenever possible. 'always' is for debugging only and should not be used in a production system. The default is 'auto'. --base64-output is a short form for --base64-output=always. How to repeat: See Description. Checked with following versions: 5.1.31, 5.1.30-ndb-6.4.0, 6.0.9 all from bzr. Suggested fix: Add descriptions of DECODE-ROWS and UNSPEC options to mysqlbinlog help output for --base64-output option. Also please inform Docs what --base64-output=UNSPEC does, because this option is not documented.
