[H-GEN] Contributing to mysqldump man page

[Ronald Bradford]

Hi Anthony,

Needed to know that myself, thanks.
Generally when looking at MySQL syntax, users that I know always refer 
back to the MySQL Manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/)  In this case your 
argument is found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqldump.html

Also for reference, this is a Brisbane MySQL Users group 
(http://mysql.meetup.com/84/), I went along last month for the first 
time, and found it very good. This site does have a message board, but 
the recommendation was to use the official MySQL forums at 
http://forums.mysql.com/
Alternatively you could write about it in your Blog and submit it to the 
MySQL Blog   Aggregator at http://www.planetmysql.org

Regards

Ronald Bradford
