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. I updated the description in the manual to be consistent with the --help message.
Description: The documentation for mysqlbinlog short-format option is not consistent, as in the --help it says it's not fit for production but in the manual there is no such warning. How to repeat: shell> mysqlbinlog --version mysqlbinlog Ver 3.3 for apple-darwin10.3.0 at i386 shell> mysqlbinlog --help | grep -A4 "\-\-short-form" -s, --short-form Just show regular queries: no extra info and no row-based events. This is for testing only, and should not be used in production systems. If you want to suppress base64-output, consider using --base64-output=never instead. "--short-form, -s Display only the statements contained in the log, without any extra information." http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqlbinlog.html#option_mysqlbinlog_short-form Suggested fix: Fix one of the entries, either removing the warning in the --help or adding it in the manual.
