Press CTRL+C to copy
struct st_mysql_client_plugin * mysql_client_find_plugin(MYSQL *mysql, const char *name, int type)

Description

Returns a pointer to a loaded plugin, loading the plugin first if necessary. An error occurs if the type is invalid or the plugin cannot be found or loaded.

Specify the arguments as follows:

  • mysql: A pointer to a MYSQL structure. The plugin API does not require a connection to a MySQL server, but this structure must be properly initialized. The structure is used to obtain connection-related information.

  • name: The plugin name.

  • type: The plugin type.

Return Values

A pointer to the plugin for success. NULL if an error occurred.
