Description:
In several mysql man pages, there are missing command-line options (mostly related to specifying default values).

How to repeat:
man mysql{,admin,check,import,...} and search for i.e. --defaults-extra-file

Suggested fix:
Fill in missing command line options.

Thank you for the bug report.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly.

Added these options:
--defaults-extra-file
--defaults-file
--defaults-group-suffix
--no-defaults
--print-defaults

as applicable to:
mysql
mysqladmin
mysqlbinlog
mysqlcheck
mysqld
mysqldump
mysqlimport
mysqlshow
mysqlslap
mysqltest
mysql_install_db
mysql_plugin

I did not use the supplied patches because the man pages are derived from a different source format.

Ditto for mysql_upgrade and (in 5.7) mysql_secure_installation.
