SHOW BINLOG EVENTS [IN 'log_name'] [FROMpos] [LIMIT [offset,]row_count]
        Shows the events in the binary log. If you do not specify
        ', the
        first binary log is displayed.

        The LIMIT clause has the same syntax as for
        the SELECT statement. See
        Section 12.2.8, “SELECT Syntax”.
      
          Issuing a SHOW BINLOG EVENTS
          with no LIMIT clause could start a very
          time- and resource-consuming process because the server
          returns to the client the complete contents of the binary log
          (which includes all statements executed by the server that
          modify data). As an alternative to SHOW
          BINLOG EVENTS, use the
          mysqlbinlog utility to save the binary log
          to a text file for later examination and analysis. See
          Section 4.6.7, “mysqlbinlog — Utility for Processing Binary Log Files”.
        
          Events relating to the setting of variables are not included
          in the output from SHOW BINLOG
          EVENTS. To get complete coverage of events within a
          binary log, use
          mysqlbinlog.
