--raw -r
For tabular output, the "boxing" around columns enables one column value to be distinguished from
another. For nontabular output (such as is produced in batch mode or when the
or [269] option is given), special characters are escaped in the output so they can

be identified easily. Newline, tab, NUL, and backslash are written as \n, \t, \0, and \\. The
[269] option disables this character escaping.
raw
The following example demonstrates tabular versus nontabular output and the use of raw mode to
disable escaping:
% mysql
mysql> SELECT CHAR(92);
+----------+
| CHAR(92) |
+----------+
| \ |
+----------+
% mysql -s
mysql> SELECT CHAR(92);
CHAR(92)
\\
% mysql -s -r
mysql> SELECT CHAR(92);
CHAR(92)

Silent mode. Produce less output. This option can be given multiple times to produce less and less
