/...> Where could I find speciffication of how MySQL client and server > communicate?
Look at the source code of libmysql?
So, document regarding this protocol doesn't exist?
I didn't say that. I don't know of such a document, but I have never heard of it. However, since the protocol can change each time a new version is released (You can use a newer client to connect to an older server, but you cannot use an older client to connect to a newer server, typically), it really doesn't make sense to write your own implementation of the protocol when a freely available C implementation of that protocol exists and can be linked against and updated without changes to your code.
I have written many many programs linked against libmysql. Updating to new versions of libmysql is fairly easy. I can't see any benefit to trying to reverse engineer the protocol. Perhaps your situation is different.
Hm, and, where could I find the source code of libmysql? I googled, but failed to locate
it. I'd be thrilled if you could help...

Hope that helps.
