I think you get this from the MySQL manual, I suppose? I have seen this before.
The chown command simply changes the owner and group of a list of files. Change of access permission is done using chmod instead.
First command: user root, group mysql
Second command: user mysql, group mysql
-R is recursive. That is, apply this to each and every file and directory underneath.

mysql_config
MYSQL_CONFIG(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_CONFIG(1)
NAME
mysql_config - display options for compiling clients
SYNOPSIS
mysql_config options
DESCRIPTION
mysql_config provides you with useful information for compiling your MySQL client and connecting it to MySQL. It is a shell script, so it
is available only on Unix and Unix-like systems.
mysql_config supports the following options.
o --cflags
Compiler flags to find include files and critical compiler flags and defines used when compiling the libmysqlclient library. The
options returned are tied to the specific compiler that was used when the library was created and might clash with the settings for
your own compiler. Use --include for more portable options that contain only include paths.
o --include
Compiler options to find MySQL include files.
o --libmysqld-libs, --embedded
Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL embedded server.
o --libs
Libraries and options required to link with the MySQL client library.
o --libs_r
Libraries and options required to link with the thread-safe MySQL client library. In MySQL 5.5, all client libraries are thread-safe,
so this option need not be used. The --libs option can be used in all cases.
o --plugindir
The default plugin directory path name, defined when configuring MySQL.
o --port
The default TCP/IP port number, defined when configuring MySQL.
o --socket
The default Unix socket file, defined when configuring MySQL.
o --version
Version number for the MySQL distribution.
If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all options that it supports, and their values:
shell> mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [options]
Options:
--cflags [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro]
--include [-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql]
--libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
-lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl]
--libs_r [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r
-lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl]
--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
--port [3306]
--version [5.5.31]
--libmysqld-libs [-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqld
-lpthread -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lcrypt]
You can use mysql_config within a command line using backticks to include the output that it produces for a particular option. For example,
to compile and link a MySQL client program, use mysql_config as follows:
shell> gcc -c `mysql_config --cflags` progname.c
shell> gcc -o progname progname.o `mysql_config --libs`
