# mysql\_plugin

`mysql_plugin` is a tool for enabling or disabling [plugins](/docs/server/reference/plugins.md).

From [MariaDB 10.5](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.5/what-is-mariadb-105.md), the client is called `mariadb-plugin`. It can still be accessed under its original `mysql_plugin` name via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.

See [mariadb-plugin](/docs/server/clients-and-utilities/administrative-tools/mariadb-plugin.md) for details.
