Here we should address 2 missing test cases in test suite:
1. There is no test case where --raw is used without -R, since it is required option
Proof:
raw option (option used to create raw/binary data instead of SQL query) should be used with -R, --read-from-remote-server (see
options)

$ ./client/mysqlbinlog mysql-test/var/tmp/mysqlbinlog_row_flashback_3.sql  --raw

ERROR: The --raw mode only works with --read-from-remote-server

However we don't have that covered in test case mysql-test/suite/binlog/t/binlog_mysqlbinlog_raw_flush.test, this MDEV should create one.

2. There is no test case for raw and --flashback and it is not documented behavior (spoted by cvicentiu).
Theoretically mariadb-binlog can be used with both options to generate the file (what flashback option is used for); but generated file, will contain wrong data and as polluted cannot be used by mariadb client for query execution.

• Proof:

  $ ./client/mariadb-binlog ../../src/10.11/mysql-test/master-bin.000003

  /*!50530 SET @@SESSION.PSEUDO_SLAVE_MODE=1*/;

  /*!40019 SET @@session.max_delayed_threads=0*/;

  /*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;

  DELIMITER /*!*/;

Since this is not desired situation, we need to generate an error when the options are used together

The tasks should be:
1. Cover the test case for --raw without -R
2. Write test case for -raw and -flasback and generate the error when used in conjuction and document in the KB.

The above is not catched with Coverity scan.
