    Description

      The documentation for core_file contains this bullet point:

      • Default Value: OFF, ON (Windows only >= MariaDB 10.4.3)

      which implies that there is a default of OFF, and maybe a default of ON for Windows, or that the parameter is available on Windows only since MariaDB 10.4.3.

      It might be a good idea to show explicitly that this parameter accepts no arguments when specified in .cnf files, and to separate out the information that it's only available on Windows as of 10.4.3.

      Specifying "core_file=ON" in configuration results in the server failing to start with:

      [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: option '--core-file' cannot take an argument
