Bestem, hvilken MySQL-konfigurationsfil, der bruges

Taget fra den fantastiske "High Performance MySQL" O'Reilly bog:

$ which mysqld
/usr/sbin/mysqld

$ /usr/sbin/mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf /usr/etc/my.cnf
