•--help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
•--addtodest
Do not rename target directory (if it exists); merely add files to it.
•--allowold
Do not abort if a target exists; rename it by adding an _old suffix.
•--checkpoint=db_name.tbl_name
Insert checkpoint entries into the specified database db_name and table
tbl_name.
•--chroot=dir_name
Base directory of the chroot jail in which mysqld operates. The
dir_name value should match that of the --chroot option given to
mysqld.
•--debug
Enable debug output.
•--dryrun, -n
Report actions without performing them.
•--flushlog
Flush logs after all tables are locked.
•--host=host_name, -h
host_name
The host name of the local host to use for making a TCP/IP connection to the
local server. By default, the connection is made to localhost using a Unix
socket file.
•--keepold
Do not delete previous (renamed) target when done.
•--method=command
The method for copying files (cp or scp). The default is cp.
•--noindices
Do not include full index files for MyISAM tables in the backup. This makes the
backup smaller and faster. The indexes for reloaded tables can be
reconstructed later with myisamchk -rq.
•--password=password,
-p password
The password to use when connecting to the server. The password value is not
optional for this option, unlike for other MySQL programs.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
Section 6.1.2.1, “End-User Guidelines for Password
Security”. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on
the command line.
•--port=port_num, -P
port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use when connecting to the local server.
•--old_server
In MySQL 5.6, mysqlhotcopy uses FLUSH TABLES tbl_list WITH READ
LOCK to flush and lock tables. Use the --old_server option if the
server is older than 5.5.3, which is when that statement was introduced.
•--quiet, -q
Be silent except for errors.
•--record_log_pos=db_name.tbl_name
Record master and slave status in the specified database db_name and
table tbl_name.
•--regexp=expr
Copy all databases with names that match the given regular expression.
•--resetmaster
Reset the binary log after locking all the tables.
•--resetslave
Reset the master info repository file or table after locking all the
tables.
•--socket=path, -S
path
The Unix socket file to use for connections to localhost.
•--suffix=str
The suffix to use for names of copied databases.
•--tmpdir=dir_name
The temporary directory. The default is /tmp.
•--user=user_name, -u
user_name
The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.

information about the structure of the tables needed for the
--checkpoint and --record_log_pos options:
