 4.3.3 Using Environment Variables to Specify Options
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
 To specify an option using an environment variable, set the variable
 using the syntax appropriate for your comment processor. For example,
 on Windows or NetWare, you can set the `USER' variable to specify your
 MySQL account name.  To do so, use this syntax:
 
      SET USER=YOUR_NAME
 
 The syntax on Unix depends on your shell. Suppose that you want to
 specify the TCP/IP port number using the `MYSQL_TCP_PORT' variable. The
 syntax for Bourne shell and variants (`sh', `bash', `zsh', etc.) is:
 
      MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306
 
 For `csh' and `tcsh', use this syntax:
 
      setenv MYSQL_TCP_PORT 3306
 
 The commands to set environment variables can be executed at your
 command prompt to take effect immediately. These settings persist until
 you log out.  To have the settings take effect each time you log in,
 place the appropriate command or commands in a startup file that your
 command interpreter reads each time it starts. Typical startup files are
 `AUTOEXEC.BAT' for Windows, `.bash_profile' for `bash', or `.tcshrc'
 for `tcsh'. Consult the documentation for your command interpreter for
 specific details.
 
  Environment variables lists all environment variables that
 affect MySQL program operation.
