There may not be one at all. All of the directives in my.conf can
be supplied on the command line to mysqld. I prefer to avoind
my.cnf for a variety of reasons, not the last of which is that I
can, from 'ps', see pretty much everything I need to know about
the daemon.
Note the last three of these lines. I've censored some sensitive
information, but the rest show you what you might need WRT supplying
stuff on the command line. (I may not have all of this correct,
BTW. I'm still exploring replication myself.)

But, as to your original question: see
