MySQL 5.6 Release Notes
The following table provides a list of all the system variables
applicable within mysqld.
The table lists command-line options (Cmd-line), options valid in configuration files (Option file), server system variables (System Var), and status variables (Status var) in one unified list, with notification of where each option/variable is valid. If a server option set on the command line or in an option file differs from the name of the corresponding server system, the variable name is noted immediately below the corresponding option. The scope of the variable is shown (Var Scope) as either global, session, or both. Please see the corresponding sections for details on setting and using the options and variables. Where appropriate, a direct link to further information on the item as available.
