Is there distinction between the commands understood by the MySQL client and understood by the MySQL server?

When using MySQL in command line (such as Bash),

is there a similar distinction between PostgreSQL server and client psql? If yes, what are the MySQL client and MySQL server when I run mysql in a OS shell? I never see in MySQL document a distinction between MySQL client/shell and MySQL server.

mysql

is there distinction between the commands understood by the MySQL client and understood by the MySQL server?
For comparison, in Postgresql, psql has its own commands usually started with , such as l, while postgresql server only understands SQL commands and doesn't understand psql commands.
In MySQL official document, I don't find it mentions whether a command is only understood by the MySQL client or by the MySQL server.

l

Thanks.

The command line client mysql also has commands that are interpreted by the client program rather than sent to the server.

mysql

Like for psql, these commands start with a backslash.

psql

You can find a list in the documentation.
