    Description

      When the server reads options from my.cnf, it supports several option prefixes:

      • autoset - Sets the option value automatically. Only supported for certain options. Available in MariaDB 10.1.7 and later.
      • disable - For all boolean options, disables the setting (equivalent to setting it to 0). Same as --skip.
      • enable - For all boolean options, enables the setting (equivalent to setting it to 1).
      • loose - Don't produce an error if the option doesn't exist.
      • maximum - Sets the maximum value for the option.
      • skip - For all boolean options, disables the setting (equivalent to setting it to 0). Same as --disable.

      MariaDB Connector/C doesn't support these option prefixes yet. We can see that when it reads an option from my.cnf or other option/configuration files, it doesn't check for option prefixes:
