mysql_kill(3) | MariaDB Connector/C | mysql_kill(3) |
Name
mysql_kill - Kills a connection
Synopsis
-
#include <mysql.h> int mysql_kill(MYSQL * mysql, unsigned long);
Description
This function is used to ask the server to kill a MariaDB thread specified by the processid parameter. This value must be retrieved by [show-processlist()](SHOW PROCESSLIST]]. If trying to kill the own connection mysql_thread_id(3) should be used.
Parameter
- •
- mysql - a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). Returns 0 on success, otherwise nonzero.
- •
- long - process id
Notes
- •
- To stop a running command without killing the connection use KILL QUERY.
- •
- The mysql_kill() function only kills a connection, it doesn’t free any memory - this must be done explicitly by calling mysql_close(3).
Return value
Returns zero on success, non zero on error.
