Question

Which flag is used to compile client programs that use MySQL header files?

(a) -O

(b) -I

(c) -U

(d) -A

This question was posed to me in an online interview.

The doubt is from Compiling and Linking Client Programs in portion MySQL Programs Using C of MySQL

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) -I

To explain I would say: The ‘-I’ option is specified when the client programs are compiled that use the MySQL header files. The compiler can easily find these header files when the ‘-I’ option is used.
