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.
