                         int type)

Description

Specify the arguments as follows:

• mysql: A pointer to aMYSQL 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.

Example

MYSQL mysql;
struct st_mysql_client_plugin *p;

if ((p = mysql_client_find_plugin(&mysql, "myplugin",
                                  MYSQL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION_PLUGIN, 0)))
{
  printf("Plugin version: %d.%d.%d\n", p->version[0], p->version[1], p->version[2]);
}
