title: Login to mysql programmatically
body: <p>I'm writing a c program and need to login to a mysql database. I'm trying to find a simple yet secure way of storing the username and password in the program.  The program will make https calls to the mysql server.  I just need to be able to include the user/password data and I don't want to store it as a string in the program.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know a simple yet secure way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>This is on a linux system.  raspberry pi debian (jessie).</p>
