You did read http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysqldump.html didn't
you?

I'm not sure what you're doing since you don't show the exact
command that you type in your question, but by default mysqldump
will output to the standard output. In some cases using -T and a
directory name will work for letting mysqldump create files for
you.
You further need to specify the database (and tables if you like)
you want to dump.
It's all in the manual and even available with mysqldump --help.
So what IS your question exactly?
Regards,
Fred.
