Syntax:
SHOW SLAVE STATUS

This statement provides status information on essential parameters of
the slave threads. It requires either the SUPER or REPLICATION CLIENT
privilege.

If you issue this statement using the mysql client, you can use a \G
statement terminator rather than a semicolon to obtain a more readable
vertical layout:

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
