mysqld and other utilities support the --help --verbose parameters. When these parameters are set, the utility will print out the configuration files that it reads:

$ mysqld --help --verbose

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:

/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf

The default paths for configuration files can be overridden by using the --defaults-file option.

$ mysqld --defaults-file=/tmp/my.cnf --help --verbose

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
