mysql_kill(3) MariaDB Connector/C mysql_kill(3)
Name
mysql_kill - Kills a connection
Synopsis
#include <mysql.h>
int mysql_kill(MYSQL * mysql,
unsigned long);
Description
This function is used to ask the server to kill a MariaDB thread
specified by the processid parameter. This value must be retrieved by
[show-processlist()](SHOW PROCESSLIST]]. If trying to kill the own
connection mysql_thread_id(3) should be used.
Parameter
o mysql - a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by
mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). Returns 0 on
success, otherwise nonzero.
o long - process id
Notes
o To stop a running command without killing the connection use KILL
QUERY.
o The mysql_kill() function only kills a connection, it doesn't free
any memory - this must be done explicitly by calling mysql_close(3).
Return value
Returns zero on success, non zero on error.
