mariadb-setpermission is a Perl script that was originally written and contributed by Luuk de Boer. It
       interactively sets permissions in the MariaDB grant tables.  mariadb-setpermission is written in Perl and
       requires that the DBI and DBD::MariaDB Perl modules be installed.

       Invoke mariadb-setpermission like this:

           shell> mariadb-setpermission[options]options should be either --help to display the help message, or options that indicate how to connect to
       the MariaDB server. The account used when you connect determines which permissions you have when
       attempting to modify existing permissions in the grant tables.

       mariadb-setpermission also reads options from the [client] and [perl] groups in the .my.cnf file in your
       home directory, if the file exists.

       mariadb-setpermission supports the following options:

       •   --help

           Display a help message and exit.

       •   --host=host_name

           Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.

       •   --password=password

           The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the password value is not optional for
           this option, unlike for other MariaDB programs.

           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. You can use an option file
           to avoid giving the password on the command line.

       •   --port=port_num

           The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.

       •   --socket=path

           For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.

       •   --user=user_name

           The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
