Hi,
I would like to implement this feature.

You're most welcome to do so.

The code is https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.5/client/mysqladmin.cc#L114

The instructions on downloading and building are https://mariadb.com/kb/en/compiling-mariadb-from-source/

As you are only needed the client to build `cmake -DWITHOUT_SERVER=ON ...` in the instructions to minimise the build.

Online chat help available https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/

danblack thanks for the valuable intro. Kartik is the GSoC student who will be working on unifying the compression API in the server. GSoC is currently in the community bonding phase and I felt like this task would be a good and fun chance for Kartik to go through the first contribution experience.

KartikSoneji this summer you'll see and hear a lot of Daniel around, so consider yourselves introduced . Let me know at any point in time if you need help figuring out this task.

I'm wondering if we need that.
mysql -e "FLUSH SSL"
has that functionality already. Why would it make sense to extend legacy tool with new functionality, if it is available elsewhere

Pull Request merged, many thanks Kartik for your contribution

This needs to be documented as well - created MDEV-24963.
